Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was noticed that his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How to treat high fever in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis.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, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are advised to ease the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
