Question
Baby girl, 1 month old, has a slight sore throat, severe cough, and low fever that has not subsided. How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics are a common treatment method, which can be selected based on the situation. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection of medication can be combined. For children with mainly throat pain as the symptom, painkillers can be considered to relieve the symptoms. In case of persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling can be performed if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. Surgery is also an option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and lifestyle habits to aid recovery.
