Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may choose surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
