Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat, notices it, coughs quite severely, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and low fever in the child.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
