Question
Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is only 7 months old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water and her throat seemed sore. I’ve noticed that her coughing has also become more severe, and now she has a persistent fever. How should young children with low fever and tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For treatment, first, you can provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. You can also consider regional rinsing or spraying, and injections of symptomatic medication can be administered into the tonsils. These treatments are generally effective. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be given appropriately. If the child still has a fever, you can consider giving some fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Finally, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease, bring their children for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
