Question
A male infant, 3 months old, is experiencing severe pain due to tonsillitis, along with severe coughing and low-grade fever. How should children with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment for children’s tonsillitis can involve antibiotics sensitive to bacterial culture, and options include regional laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms and take oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical assistance should be sought. Tonsillitis often recurs, so if similar symptoms occur after treatment, surgery may be considered. After recovery, it is suggested that children engage in moderate exercise, enhance their immunity, and avoid recurrence.
