Question
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and had more severe coughing, along with a persistent low fever. How should I treat low fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor for their child, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments, such as tonsil irrigation or intramuscular injections, can also be considered. When the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the child frequently has recurrent inflammation, parents can also consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to feeding light fluid foods.
