Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 5 months old. Initially, he had a slight pain in his throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can also be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is suggested to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
