Question
Dear Baby Girl, she is currently 2 years old and has just started experiencing pain when swallowing water, accompanied by severe coughing and low-grade fever. How should children with fever and tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatment measures such as tonsil washing, medication injections, and laser therapy can also be taken. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can also be considered. If the child still has a slight fever, appropriate fever reduction is needed. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. In addition to medication treatments, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can also discuss surgical treatment options with the doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
