Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 5 months old and has started feeling throat pain, severe coughing, and showing signs of fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis with high fever for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
In most cases, if a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional washing, spraying, or injectable medications. For throat pain, analgesics can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, antipyretics can be given or immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. It’s also important to pay attention to a light diet, primarily consisting of fluid foods.
