Question
Dear Baby, 8 months old, has recently been feeling throat pain, severe coughing, and a bit of fever. How should we treat fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the child has throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medications may be considered. However, if the fever persists and does not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
