Question

Dear Parent, my daughter is only 6 months old, she has a slight sore throat and her voice sounds hoarse when she talks. She also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis and high fever in children?

Answer

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the condition occurs frequently, surgery can be considered after the disease is controlled. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent the tonsils from becoming inflamed again.
