Question
Dear parents, my baby girl is just 3 months old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and now she has a severe cough. She also has a bit of a fever and seems listless. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to select some medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, and also consider regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has significant throat pain, some painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications, it is advisable to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their child for treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to pay attention to preventive and health care measures in daily life.
