Question
A four-month-old male infant has developed tonsillitis, accompanied by mild coughing, fever, and lack of energy. How should one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
For treating tonsillitis, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and consider regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be used in moderation. For fever management, appropriate cooling methods should be chosen based on the body temperature: if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be considered. If the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery as early as possible. Parents should pay attention to this condition, take their child to the doctor in a timely manner, and perform preventive and health care measures in daily life.
