Question

Dear parents, my son is just over a month old and has recently been experiencing sore throat and severe coughing, accompanied by persistent low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat high fever and tonsillitis in children?

Answer

For a better treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for regional therapy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intravenous drug injection. Additionally, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms, and antipyretics can be taken to control fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly in cases of high fever, and consider surgical treatment for recurrent inflammation. After treatment, encourage moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
