Question
The baby girl is only 6 months old and has recently started to feel throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first administer systemic anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and also consider regional treatments to enhance efficacy, such as hidden pocket irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils. For children with obvious throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences this condition, and the condition is controlled after treatment, consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
