Question
Dear parents, our baby girl is just 2 months old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and high fever, and seemed listless. How should we treat high fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Currently, clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotics, which can be selected based on the sensitivity of the bacteria, leading to good effects. At the same time, some regional treatments can be performed, such as rinsing or direct medication, to strengthen the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, some painkillers can be considered. Some children may have accompanying fever conditions, at which point oral antipyretics can be taken. If this is ineffective, it is imperative to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis has a characteristic of recurrent attacks; if the inflammation is controlled after similar conditions, surgery can be considered. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
