Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is only 5 months old. She just started to feel a sore throat when she talks, and I noticed her coughing seems more severe. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
There are several treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis with high fever:
- Antibiotic medication is commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis, and you can choose the appropriate antibiotic based on the doctor’s recommendation.
- You can use local drug sprays or laser therapy to relieve the sore throat symptoms.
- If the child has a sore throat, some painkillers can be administered as needed.
- If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken, but please follow the doctor’s advice on the appropriate use of medication.
- If the symptoms are severe, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
- If the medication treatment is not effective and there are recurrent episodes, consider surgical treatment.
- During the treatment period, it is also important to provide your child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help your child recover as soon as possible.
