Question
A three-month-old boy has started to feel a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by severe coughing and low fever, and shows signs of poor spirits. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated effectively?
Answer
Moderate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriate, along with regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy. Painkillers should be administered based on the child’s condition, especially to relieve severe throat pain and to lower the fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
