Question
A 9-month-old baby boy, initially experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and slight fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used in appropriate amounts. Regional cleaning or spraying, as well as injection of medication into the tonsils, can also be effective. Painkillers can be used for children with significant throat pain. Additionally, fever-reducing medications can be taken if fever is present. If high fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm in daily life to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
