Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 3 months old, and he recently started complaining of throat pain when swallowing. I noticed that he’s been coughing more severely, and he has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever effectively?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, or use regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar drug injections. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a slight fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
