Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 9 months old and has recently been experiencing throat pain along with a slight cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What treatment methods are available for fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for the child to take anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered, and antipyretics should be used promptly if the fever persists. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
