Question
My baby boy is just over a month old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, with difficulty swallowing and a slight fever. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Currently, the most commonly used treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Medications can be selected based on symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil washing can also be considered. If the main symptom is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered, and fever-reducing medication can be taken when feverish. If the fever is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. It is also important to provide a light diet, supplement nutrition, and assist in early recovery.
