Question
The baby girl is just 4 months old and has just started experiencing pain when drinking water. It seems like her coughing is quite severe as well, and she has a persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods and medications currently used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose treatments according to symptoms, and regional therapy can be chosen to enhance efficacy during systemic treatment. This includes methods such as pus cavity irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. Additionally, if there is a fever, fever reducers can also be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, attention should be given to maintaining good hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
