Question
My daughter is only 3 months old and has recently been experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent low-grade fever. I would like to ask how to diagnose and treat fever in young children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For a young baby girl suffering from tonsillitis with fever symptoms, we can provide some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. At the same time, for regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child mainly exhibits symptoms of throat pain, parents are advised to use painkillers in moderation to relieve pain. For fever, choose cooling methods based on body temperature. When the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be performed; when the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretic drugs can be taken. In addition to the above treatment methods, if the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to staying warm and avoiding exacerbating symptoms with a cold.
