Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. It was found that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
