Question
Dear parents, my baby girl is just one month old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and she has a slight cough. She also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should we treat her tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated with antipyretics as appropriate. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Finally, we hope that parents can pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
