Question

Baby girl, 1 month old, with reported throat pain, severe cough, and low fever. How to treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?

Answer

Tonsillitis in children is typically treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatment methods can be chosen to enhance effectiveness, such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct drug injection. If severe throat pain is present, painkillers may be considered; for fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and if the condition persists, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, it is necessary to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
