Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and it seemed difficult for her to swallow. She also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat high fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and regional treatment can be considered with laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be used to alleviate symptoms. For low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the drug treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgery may be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child well-warmed to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
