Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, pain relievers for fever can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
