Question
Dear parents, our baby girl is only 4 months old and is experiencing pain while making sounds, her voice is hoarse. She currently has a persistent high fever. How should we treat a child with tonsillitis and high fever in the best way?
Answer
In such cases, it may be considered to give the child appropriate antibiotic medications for treatment, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injection, and laser therapy. Additionally, painkillers should be administered in moderation according to the child’s condition, especially when there is severe throat pain to alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to use antipyretic drugs in moderation, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
