Question
My son is just over 2 months old. He started to complain about pain when swallowing and it seems difficult for him to swallow. He also has a low-grade fever. How should one treat a child with tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be initiated, and consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. For persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, during treatment, it is important to arrange for a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
