Question
A 6-month-old boy is experiencing throat pain while talking, accompanied by coughing and a slight fever, and is showing a lack of vitality. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
Appropriate amounts of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and regional treatments such as washing the tonsil crypts or injecting medication can also be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be used. For children with fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical treatment early. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery may be considered. Parents are advised to pay attention to the disease, seek medical treatment promptly, and pay attention to preventive health care work.
