Question
The baby girl is 5 months old and has reported throat pain, severe cough, and persistent low fever. How should one treat a child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
For the child’s symptoms, anti-inflammatory drugs, sprays, or laser therapy can be used. If the primary symptom is throat pain, mild painkillers can be considered to relieve discomfort, while physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical assistance should be sought. If the medication is ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment early and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
