Question
A nine-month-old girl baby is experiencing swallowing pain and difficulty in swallowing, accompanied by persistent low fever. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever to achieve the best results?
Answer
The treatment of tonsillitis usually involves antibiotic medications, with appropriate antibiotics chosen based on the condition. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be adopted to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation or direct tonsil injection of medication. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For children with fever, cooling measures should be taken according to the situation; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. For cases that recur or have complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Additionally, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to aid in a quick recovery from the disease.
