Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. He initially complained of throat pain, accompanied by severe cough and low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first option is to use symptomatic antibiotic treatment, which can include both systemic medication and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or regional drug injections. For the child’s possible sore throat, it is recommended to consider giving some painkillers; if the child has a fever, some antipyretic medications can be taken, and if symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. At the same time, please pay attention to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to help the child recover soon.
