Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over a month old. He has just started to feel pain when swallowing water, and it seems like he has difficulty swallowing. Now he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with low fever for the best effect?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory drugs and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil pocket lavage and tonsil injections. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently has recurrent inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents will pay attention to this disease, take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
