Question
Baby girl, 8 months old, has pain when swallowing water, severe cough, and persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and low fever be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting appropriate antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, while also considering regional treatments to enhance efficacy, such as pus cavity irrigation and direct drug injection. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
