Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 7 months old. Initially, she complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should we treat tonsillitis fever in infants?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, and laser therapy. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. These methods are currently commonly used in treating tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks. Finally, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to do well in related preventive and health care work.
