Question
My 3-year-old son has been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
In such cases, it can be considered to administer a moderate dose of antibiotic medication to the child, or to apply local medications, such as tonsil cleaning or regional injections. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, antipyretic medication can be used, or the child should seek medical attention promptly. It is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides, and during the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms of colds.
