Question
The baby boy just turned 3 months old, has a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent high fever. How can one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be considered for symptomatic treatment in children, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections. Appropriate painkillers can be administered to the child, especially to relieve severe throat pain. If the child continues to have a fever, parents may consider using fever-reducing medication or seeking immediate medical attention. For those with frequent recurrent inflammation, surgery may be considered, while maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest during treatment.
