Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, notices it, accompanied by mild cough, and a bit of fever with no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if the temperature is above 38.5°C. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
