Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 4 months old. He started to complain of a sore throat and I noticed that he has been coughing quite severely. He also has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the child’s inflammatory symptoms effectively. You can also combine this with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medication, which are also effective. In cases of throat pain, you can also give the child some painkillers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child some oral antipyretics. If the fever cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If there are repeated acute severe cases or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and mainly consume liquid foods.
