Question
The 9-month-old baby girl, at first, felt pain in her throat when drinking water, noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse, and has been slightly feverish. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, it is advisable to administer some antibiotics to the child as a symptomatic treatment, which is quite effective. At the same time, regional treatments such as rinsing can be performed while taking medication. In necessary cases, such as when the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. For children with fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to medication treatment, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks. Finally, parents are advised to pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children early on, and pay attention to doing a good job of related prevention and health care work.
