Question
Dear Baby, just 1 month old, at first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever effectively?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or to use regional medications such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be suggested to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretics is advised. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
