Question
My son is five months old, and he experiences pain in his throat when talking or drinking water, accompanied by a slight cough and low fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. Painkillers should be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when there is severe throat pain, which can help alleviate suffering. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to aid recovery.
