Question
A baby boy, just over 1 month old, has started to have a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough, and has a mild fever and lack of energy. How should one effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are a common treatment option, which can be chosen based on the child’s needs. Regional irrigation or spraying, or the injection of symptomatic medication at the tonsil site can also be considered, as these methods have proven effective. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a mild fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
