Question
Dear Baby, just 3 months old, she just started saying she has a sore throat, and I found that she also has a slight cough. Now, her fever hasn’t gone down. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are currently the main methods and drugs for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to symptoms and can also combine some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite good. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently recurs tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children well-warmed in daily life to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
