Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He found that coughing seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be taken. If there are recurrent inflammation cases, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching a cold due to cold exposure, which may trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
