Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 1 month old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely, with a bit of fever and lack of energy. How should we treat low-fever pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
For treatment, you can first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and also consider some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are also good options. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. If the child keeps running a fever, parents can also give some antipyretic medication, or immediately take the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Finally, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease, bring the child for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
