Question

Dear Parent, my daughter is only 7 months old. Initially, she said she had a sore throat. I noticed that she was coughing quite severely and had a low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis and fever?

Answer

To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to select some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, you can opt for local medication sprays or laser therapy. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, consider using pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. These methods are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. Parents should also ensure their children are kept warm to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
