Question
My son is just over 8 months old. He recently started saying that drinking water feels painful in his throat. I’ve noticed that his coughing seems more severe, and he seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine them with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are also quite good. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child some oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms due to catching a cold.
