Question
The baby girl is only 2 months old and has started feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low fever, and seems less energetic. How should one treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s prescription for anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment can consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be administered as appropriate; if there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be considered, while over 38.5 degrees Celsius suggests taking oral fever-reducing medication. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with the doctor to consider surgical treatment. It is advisable to have a light diet during treatment, with a focus on liquid foods.
