Question
My daughter is only 4 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when talking, and her voice was a bit hoarse during speech. She has also been a bit feverish. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected appropriately. Regional irrigation or spray can also be considered, as well as symptomatic injections within the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give some fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrence, so after controlling the inflammation, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and sufficient rest time.
