Question
The baby boy just turned 2 months old and is experiencing severe sore throat, cough, and fever. What is the best way to treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it is first advisable to use symptomatic antibiotics, and regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts and regional injections of medication can also be considered. For severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered, and if there is a fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms do not subside, medical assistance should be sought, and if the disease frequently recurs, parents may consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to balanced nutrition and diet to help the child recover quickly.
