Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and I noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in the child?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
