Question
The baby boy is just over 5 months old. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, it seems that the low-grade fever has not subsided. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, parents are advised to give a moderate amount of pain relief medication. If there is a low-grade fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature; if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
