Question
Baby girl, just 1 month old, at first, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed that, coughing was quite severe, and it seemed like a low-grade fever never went away. What should be done to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children for better effect?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil intramuscular injection, etc. In necessary cases, such as when the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given. If the child continues to have a high fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets enough nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. It is also important to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
