Question

My daughter is six months old, with a sore throat, coughing, and persistent fever. How should I handle her tonsillitis and fever?

Answer

It is advised that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms, while also conducting regional treatments such as gargling and topical medications to enhance efficacy. Painkillers can be administered to relieve throat pain, and physical cooling measures can be taken for low-grade fevers. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis often recurs, so consider surgical treatment after controlling inflammation. At the same time, pay attention to giving your child a light diet and supplementing nutrition to aid in a quick recovery.
