Question
Dear Baby, she is only 9 months old, and she started to feel a sore throat when she began to talk, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent fever. How should one treat tonsillitis and fever in young children?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main clinical treatment methods, which can be selected according to symptoms. Regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injection medications can also be combined. Pain relievers can alleviate the child’s sore throat symptoms, and antipyretics can be taken orally if the fever persists. It is recommended that if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, good hygiene and sufficient rest should be maintained.
