Question
The 6-month-old baby girl has pain when swallowing water, along with mild coughing and a slight fever. How should we treat the child’s tonsillitis with high fever for the best results?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be considered, as well as injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
