Question
A 3-year-old boy initially experienced a sore throat while speaking and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat and manage pediatric tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
In clinical practice, the primary treatment for children with tonsillitis is through antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial cultures, with good efficacy. Additionally, regional treatment methods can be combined, such as tonsil lavage and regional injections. If the main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate symptoms; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences this condition, surgery may be considered after treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. It is also important to pay attention to giving light and nutritious food to aid in a quick recovery.
