Question
The baby girl is only 6 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and it was noticed that she has a more severe cough. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and low fever be effectively treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is first recommended to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar drug injections. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be suggested depending on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. It is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
