Question
A 3-month-old boy is complaining of throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low fever. He asks: How should a low fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, intratonsillar medication injections, and laser therapy. Painkillers can be considered when throat pain is severe, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if there is a fever. If the fever is high, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. After the condition stabilizes, surgery may be considered to prevent recurrence, and attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest.
