Question
A boy, aged 1, has just started to feel a bit of pain in his throat, and his voice sounds hoarse when he speaks. He also has a low-grade fever. How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
In treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
