Question

Dear parents, our 9-month-old daughter has recently been experiencing a sore throat and a hoarse voice, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis with low fever?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, the primary treatment should be appropriate antibiotic medication, along with local treatments such as gargling or direct medication to enhance the effect. Pain relievers can be considered to alleviate pain, especially when the throat is severely painful. If the child has a slight fever, it can be appropriately treated with antipyretics; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child repeatedly experiences inflammation, parents can discuss with the doctor whether surgical treatment is necessary. It is recommended to pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in daily life.
