Patient's question:
Boy, just turned two months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis and low fever in a child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
