Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 3 months old. Initially, she had a slight pain in her throat, and she has been experiencing quite severe coughing, along with what seems like a persistent low fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medication as needed. In more severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can also be effective. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In cases of repeated acute severity or complications, it is advised to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, make sure the child gets enough rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
