Question
Dear parents, our baby girl is only 4 months old. She initially experienced a sore throat while speaking, followed by a severe cough. She has been running a high fever now. How should we treat the fever symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is antibiotic medication, which should be selected based on the situation. For localized treatment, laser therapy or medicated rinses are recommended. If the child experiences throat pain, painkillers can be used in moderation; if the child has a slight fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, and surgery may be considered after treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good hygiene in food and ensure adequate rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
