Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
