Question
The baby is only 8 months old and initially showed symptoms of throat pain and severe cough, accompanied by low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
The main method of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose based on the symptoms and may also opt for regional applications of medication, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or regional injections. For children with pronounced throat pain, some painkillers can be used. When the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer some fever-reducing medicine, or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the medication is ineffective and symptoms recur, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is mainly important to ensure that the child stays warm and avoid getting chilled to worsen the symptoms.
