Question

An 8-month-old baby girl is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and low fever. What should be the treatment for infants and young children with low fever pharyngitis?

Answer

The treatment for a child’s tonsillitis can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture, with the selection of sensitive antibiotics. Concurrently, regional treatments such as tonsil washing, medication injection, and laser therapy can be administered. Painkillers can be given as needed to alleviate symptoms, while also paying attention to physical cooling measures. If the condition does not improve and recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm in daily life and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrence of inflammation.
