Question
Dear Parent, Our baby girl, who is only 3 months old, is experiencing pain in her throat when she speaks and has difficulty swallowing. She has also developed a high fever that is not subsiding. What should we do to treat our child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
The main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis currently include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can choose suitable medications based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered if the child’s throat pain is severe. If the child still has a fever, temperature control should be administered as necessary. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. For children with recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with light meals and increase nutritional supplements to assist in a quick recovery.
