Question

Baby girl, 5 months old, experiencing throat pain and hoarseness, accompanied by low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?

Answer

Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with local treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional drug injections. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention early if the fever is high. If symptoms persist and recur, parents may consider surgical treatment while also paying attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits to help the child recover sooner.
