Question
A one-month-old baby girl is experiencing swallowing pain, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent fever. How should parents treat a child with tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis accompanied by high fever, it is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medications can be used as effective treatment options. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If fever persists, consider using fever-reducing medication. If the high fever continues, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, for children who suffer from recurrent attacks, surgery may be an option. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
