Question
A four-month-old baby boy has a sore throat with a slight cough and a persistent fever. How should one treat the child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Currently, medical treatment for children’s tonsillitis mainly involves the use of antibiotics, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. Additionally, regional sprays or laser therapy can be used, and painkillers may be administered for children with pronounced throat pain. If the fever does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended that parents pay close attention and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. They should also pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
