Question

The baby girl is 9 months old. Recently, she has been experiencing sore throat while talking and has a rather severe cough. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should low fever in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

Generally, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, the following treatment methods can be adopted:

  • Administer some antibiotics to the child, which are usually effective.
  • Consider using regional medication sprays or laser therapy.
  • For children with pronounced symptoms of throat pain, analgesics can be given.
  • If fever is present, antipyretics can be taken.
  • In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention early.
  • If there are multiple acute severe infections or complications, it is suggested to consider tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides.
  • During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
