Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then she started coughing more severely. Additionally, she has had a slight fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and has a fever, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. However, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide children with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in their speedy recovery.
