How to treat fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she also had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis with fever be treated?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
