Question
Dear Baby, she is just 5 months old and has just started to complain of pain when swallowing. I noticed that she is coughing more severely and it seems like her low fever hasn’t gone away. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, you can provide local drug sprays or laser therapy, and you can also give some painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a slight fever, then consider fever reduction accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition to this, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in an early recovery.
