Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 8 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when she spoke, and I noticed she had a slight cough. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injection, and laser therapy. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers may be appropriate. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the fever does not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, also pay attention to giving your child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplements to help them recover as soon as possible.
