Question
A three-month-old baby boy has a sore throat while talking, with a hoarse voice, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated?
Answer
The main method of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and parents can make appropriate choices based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used; if the fever persists, antipyretics should be used immediately. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. These are common treatment methods, but if tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and providing sufficient rest time.
