Question
A baby boy just over 1 month old is complaining of pain when swallowing water, severe cough, and low-grade fever. How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be used, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injections can be considered to alleviate symptoms. If the sore throat is severe, analgesics can be used in moderation. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. It is recommended to consider surgery if the tonsils frequently inflame. After recovery, appropriate exercise can improve immunity and prevent recurrence.
