Question

Baby girl, just 1 month old, at first, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed that, coughing was quite severe, and it seemed like a low-grade fever had never gone away. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and high fever be treated, and what are the effects?

Answer

When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection. If necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Also, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
