Question
Baby girl, only 4 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and low-grade fever. How should the symptoms of tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for children with tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the culture of the pathogenic bacteria. Regional treatment may recommend laser therapy or medication irrigation. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used, and physical coolingcan be employed when there is low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are repeated acute severe symptoms or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
