How to Treat Childhood Tonsillitis and Fever Effectively

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can the fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?

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 tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
