Question
My son is 7 months old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when talking, accompanied by a slight cough and mild fever. How should I treat fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be given as appropriate. For those with low-grade fever, physical coolingcan be used to lower body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks; if similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
