Question
The 9-month-old boy has a slight sore throat, severe cough, and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. How should tonsillitis and low fever in children be treated?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. Regional irrigation or spray medications are also an option, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If a high fever occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child has recurrent tonsillitis, surgery can also be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm and protected from catching a cold to prevent recurrent tonsillitis.
