Question
Baby boy, 2 months old, started feeling throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent high fever. How to treat fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders for the child to take anti-inflammatory medications and undergo local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intralesional drug injections, and laser therapy, etc. If there is throat pain, some painkillers may be given as appropriate. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be administered. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
