Question
A 3-month-old boy is experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
The treatment of tonsillitis commonly involves antibiotic medications. Regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation, drug injections, and laser therapy can be considered. For the main symptom of sore throat, analgesics can be taken. If fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and for high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. If the medication is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment is suggested. Meanwhile, pay attention to providing light meals and supplementing nutrition to promote recovery.
