Question
Dear Baby, she is just 9 months old and has just started saying that her throat hurts. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, she has a persistent high fever. How should one treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for children’s tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, regional irrigation or spraying, intra-tonsillar injections of medication, which are all effective treatments. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be administered. For children with fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child repeatedly experiences tonsillar inflammation, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
