Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and also has a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in the child?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. 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 has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
