Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 7 months old. He has started saying that it hurts when he swallows, and I’ve noticed that his coughing seems more severe, and it seems like he has had a low-grade fever all the time. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. In case of throat pain, consider giving the child painkillers, and if accompanied by a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible in case of high fever. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks, and surgery can be considered after inflammation is controlled. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to prevention and health care work.
