Question

Dear Baby, she’s only 6 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when she talked, and I noticed that she had a severe cough, and now she has a persistent fever that doesn’t go away. How should I treat low fever in a child with tonsillitis?

Answer

Parents are advised to select suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as intratonsillar injections of symptomatic medications, can also be considered. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
