Question
A two-month-old female infant is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy, suspected tonsillitis . How should one treat the low fever symptoms associated with infant tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis in infants and young children accompanied by low fever, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the primary treatment methods. Parents should choose appropriate medications based on the doctor’s advice. While taking medication, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can be administered to enhance efficacy. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medicine or take them to the hospital immediately. For recurrent tonsillitis episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
