Question
Baby girl, 3 months old, experiences throat pain when speaking, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis currently involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. Parents should choose the appropriate medication based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be used; for mild fever, appropriate antipyretics can be administered. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with a light diet, increase nutritional supplementation, which will help in early recovery.
