Question
My son is just over 2 months old. He started to have a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing, and he also has a bit of a fever and lacks energy. How should we treat high fever in infants with tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose medication with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor, and perform regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or drug injection. Painkillers can be administered if necessary. For low-grade fevers, physical cooling(temperature reduction) can be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the inflammation recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, have a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
