Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 8 months old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is first advisable to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Additionally, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can be effective. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to consider giving some pain medication. For children with fever symptoms, medications with antipyretic effects can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
