Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have a more severe cough. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed lethargic. Please ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis and fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Maintain a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
