Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had low fever. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the tonsils and low fever in the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. In necessary cases, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. These are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, while also ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
