Question
Dear Baby, she is only 5 months old. She initially complained of a sore throat, and it was noticed that swallowing was a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like she has had a low fever that hasn’t gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are currently the most commonly used method for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen according to the need. In addition, some regional treatment methods can also be tried, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For children with obvious symptoms of throat pain, spot pain relievers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the treatment effect of the medication is not good, and there are repeated attacks, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help them recover soon.
