Question
Dear parents, our daughter is only 7 months old. She initially felt a sore throat and now has severe coughing and persistent fever. How should we treat low fever in children with tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first choice of treatment is symptomatic antibiotic therapy. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intra-tonsillar injections of medication can also be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered. Parents should take the disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor early, and pay attention to prevention and health care measures.
