Question
A 4-month-old baby girl has just started to experience throat pain and coughing, and she has a persistent fever. How should low fever in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the main methods and drugs for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose based on the symptoms. If regional treatment is chosen, it is recommended to use laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is very severe, painkillers can also be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These methods are all commonly used treatments for tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods, and to ensure that the child gets enough rest and avoids fatigue.
