Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How can the treatment for tonsillitis and fever in children be most effective.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to reduce the fever accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For multiple acute severe cases or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
