Question
How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated? My son is five months old, suffering from severe sore throat, coughing, and persistent low fever. What precautions should I take?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer oral anti-inflammatory medication to the child. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a low fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. If the condition occurs frequently, consider surgery after treatment and pay attention to maintaining good hygiene in diet and adequate rest.
