Question
Dear Baby, she is just 5 months old, at first, she felt pain when drinking water, with severe coughing and low-grade fever. How should infants and toddlers with high fever due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are one of the common treatment methods for tonsillitis, which can be used according to the doctor’s advice. It is recommended to perform regional treatment such as gargling or applying medication directly while taking the medicine to enhance the effect. Painkillers can be considered to relieve throat pain, and antipyretics should be used promptly if the fever persists. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be performed. If the condition continues to recur, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable diet and rest arrangements to promote recovery.
