Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is only 6 months old. She has a slight sore throat, along with coughing and fever, and her activity level has decreased. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and fever for the best effect?
Answer
When treating a child’s tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose sensitive antibiotics based on the results of the pathogen culture, while also considering regional treatment methods to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and regional injections of medication. If there is throat pain, you can give the child pain relief medication and pay attention to physical fever-reducing methods during low fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, parents should ensure warmth to prevent the child from catching a cold and causing tonsillitis to recur.
