Question
A five-month-old baby boy is suffering from a sore throat, difficulty drinking water, and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
Generally, antibiotic treatment can be considered for pediatric tonsillitis, which is relatively effective. Local treatment suggestions include laser therapy or drug cleaning. When a child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child still has a fever, a small amount of fever-reducing medicine can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
