Question
Dear Baby, she is only 7 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that she was coughing quite severely. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, you can give the child symptomatic antibiotics, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection therapy, and laser treatment. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. For the fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius can use physical cooling methods, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
