Question

A baby boy, just over 6 months old, has started feeling a sore throat and his voice is a bit hoarse. He has been running a low fever. What should be the best treatment for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?

Answer

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil washing, medication injections, and laser therapy. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be used; if there is still a low fever, consider fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to have surgery early. During the treatment period, pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and sufficient rest.
