Question
The child is a 4-month-old girl, with a reported sore throat and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should one treat the child’s tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
In most cases, for pediatric tonsillitis, administering antibiotics to the child is an effective treatment method. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage or drug injections can also be combined. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be considered, and for fever symptoms, antipyretics can be taken. Severe cases should seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgery may also be considered. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment as early as possible, while also paying attention to related preventive and health care measures.
