Question
My 8-month-old daughter is experiencing throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis-induced fever?
Answer
It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer oral anti-inflammatory medications to the child, while also conducting local treatments such as gargling and direct medication to enhance the efficacy. Consider giving painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when there is severe throat pain, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If the fever persists, consider taking antipyretic medication. If symptoms continue to persist, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For repeated acute episodes or complications, it is suggested to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, pay attention to providing a light diet, increasing nutritional supplements, and assisting in a swift recovery.
