Question
Dear Baby, she is only 8 months old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and it seemed like swallowing was a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like her low fever has not subsided. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance. Regional treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be suggested based on the situation. Some children may have a fever as well, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently recurs with inflammation, parents can discuss with the doctor the possibility of surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child gets enough rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
