Question
A four-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat and severe cough, along with a persistent low-grade fever. Inquiry: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis are antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose based on the symptoms, and it is recommended to undergo comprehensive treatment while also considering regional treatments to enhance effectiveness, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a fever, it should be appropriately managed. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Additionally, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under a doctor’s guidance. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
