Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. It was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How is it best to treat tonsillitis and fever in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these treatments is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
