Question
My 9-month-old boy is experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent fever. What is the treatment for a child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is antibiotics, and regional treatments can also be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, injection medication. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be used, and fever reducers can be administered as needed. If the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, so surgery may be considered, and it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
