Question
My daughter is only 2 months old. She just started having a bit of pain in her throat, and I noticed that she’s coughing more severely. Additionally, she’s been a bit feverish. How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Local irrigation or spray treatment can also be considered, as well as injecting medication into the tonsils. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers may be given. If there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be used appropriately. However, if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgery after consulting with a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents will pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care in their daily lives.
