Question

The child is only 6 months old and is starting to feel throat pain, with difficulty swallowing and persistent high fever. How should one treat tonsillitis with low fever in children for the best therapeutic effectiveness?

Answer

Appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil lavage, drug injection, or laser therapy. If there is throat pain, some painkillers can be given; for fever, antipyretic drugs can be used. If the fever persists at a high level, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are multiple acute severe attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
