Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 1 month old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat and his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Now, he has a high fever that hasn’t gone down. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can select according to symptoms. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmaceutical irrigation. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can also be administered, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These methods are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
