Question
An 8-month-old girl baby is experiencing sore throat and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should fever caused by infant tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first administer some anti-inflammatory drugs to the child, or perform regional rinsing and spraying, and can also inject symptomatic medication into the tonsils to achieve the therapeutic effect. For children with significant sore throat, analgesics can be given. If the child continues to have a fever, it is recommended to use antipyretic drugs or seek immediate medical treatment. Tonsillitis may recur, and if the condition is severe, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure the child gets adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
