Question
My 1-year-old daughter is experiencing a sore throat, coughing, and persistent low fever. How should I effectively treat her tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
When treating such conditions, you can administer symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child and complement the treatment with regional measures such as tonsil irrigation and injectable medications. For children with pronounced sore throat, painkillers can be used, and for fever, the cooling method can be selected based on body temperature. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted; if it is higher than 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretic drugs can be taken. Additionally, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
