Question
Baby girl, just 7 months old, has started to feel a sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment can involve providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be considered; if there is persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is recommended. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling (cooling) can be considered. If the child frequently suffers from recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment and ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
