Question
A male baby, just over 4 months old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, and accompanied by a low fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis with fever be treated for the best effect?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. In cases of throat pain, analgesics can be administered to the child. If the child has a fever, temperature reduction should be considered. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there are recurrent acute severe symptoms or complications are present, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. At the same time, attention should be given to providing the child with light meals, increasing nutritional supplementation to aid in recovery.
