Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe. Also, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbating the symptoms by catching a cold.
