Question
A baby boy, just over 4 months old, has recently been suffering from sore throat, red and itchy throat, severe cough, and accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should one treat tonsillitis with fever in children?
Answer
For such cases, consider administering antibiotics to the child or adopting regional treatment methods, such as tonsil lavage or injection of appropriate medication. Additionally, painkillers can be used to relieve pain, especially when the throat is extremely painful. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is repeatedly acute and severe or accompanied by complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. It is important for parents to pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in daily life.
