Question
Dear parents, our son is just over 3 months old. Initially, he felt a sore throat while talking, and his voice was a bit hoarse. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should we treat tonsillitis with low fever in children?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and at the same time, opt for regional treatment to enhance the efficacy. This can include procedures such as tonsil pus irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. In cases where the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should give some fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child is kept warm and to avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
