Question

Rewrite according to the ask column Dear Parent, my son is just over 7 months old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and swallowing. He also has a slight cough and a low-grade fever. How should I treat my infant’s tonsillitis with fever?

Answer

Rewrite according to the answer column In cases of pediatric tonsillitis, it is advisable to first administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child and consider regional treatments such as laser therapy or drug rinses. Appropriate pain relief can alleviate throat pain, and if there is a mild fever, it can be treated accordingly. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, please seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.
