Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, at first, said her throat was sore, noticed it accompanied by slight coughing, and now the fever has not gone down. How should infants and toddlers with low fever from tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Currently, in the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are mainly used, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, with good effects. In addition, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, drug injections, and laser therapy can also be performed. Under the condition of throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is needed. In cases with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
