Question

Dear parents, my daughter is only 3 months old and she experiences throat pain when talking or drinking water, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How should we treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?

Answer

For pediatric tonsillitis, the primary treatment involves the use of antibiotic medications, selecting the appropriate drug based on drug sensitivity. Additionally, regional irrigation or direct medication can be used to consolidate the treatment effect. For apparent symptoms of throat pain, analgesics can be used. For fever, choose cooling methods based on body temperature. For those with long-term recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. It’s important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
