Question
A baby boy, just over 7 months old, at first, felt pain when swallowing water. He was noticed to have a severe cough and also had a low fever. How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. For children with fever symptoms, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm and preventing colds and flu to avoid recurrent tonsillitis inflammation.
