Question
Dear parents, our son is just over 5 months old and has started experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and a persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat tonsillitis and fever in infants and young children effectively?
Answer
For children suffering from tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications or regional rinsing or spraying treatments can be used, as well as injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils for good results. If the sore throat is the primary symptom, pain relief medications can be considered; if accompanied by fever, antipyretics can be taken, and medical attention should be sought promptly in cases of high fever. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to providing light meals, increasing nutritional supplementation, and promoting recovery.
