Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 9 months old and has just started saying that her throat hurts. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat tonsillitis with low fever in children?
Answer
If you want to treat tonsillitis effectively, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. For localized treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be given as needed. For those with low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. It is also important to ensure sufficient rest and avoid fatigue.
