Question
My baby girl is only one month old, and recently she has had a sore throat and severe cough, along with some low-grade fever and a lack of energy. How should I treat her tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, such as tonsil irrigation or regional injections. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. For fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, so during treatment, it is necessary to provide adequate nutrition, eat light meals, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
