Question
Dear Baby, just one month old, at first, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed she had a slight cough and seemed to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat a child with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication is recommended. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested. If the child has significant throat pain, analgesics can be administered. For slight fever, antipyretics should be used. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it’s also important to provide the child with a light diet and nutritional supplements to promote recovery.
