Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis and low fever in a child?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these pharmaceutical treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds, which could trigger further inflammation of the tonsils.
