Question
A six-month-old baby boy has a sore throat, slight cough, fever, and lacks energy. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications and local treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation or injection may be considered. Painkillers can be used to relieve throat pain, and antipyretics can be administered for fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. If the medication is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, surgery may be an option. Meanwhile, pay attention to providing a light diet and increasing nutritional supplementation, which is conducive to a quick recovery.
