Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he felt a sore throat while speaking and had severe coughing, with a slight fever. How should I treat low-fever tonsillitis in young children?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child and perform regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injections, and laser therapy. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. During low fever, temperature should be reduced, and if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, proper warmth should be maintained to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
