Question
A 3-month-old male baby is experiencing throat pain when speaking, accompanied by severe coughing and low fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar injection of medication, and laser therapy. Painkillers can be administered when the child’s throat pain is pronounced; antipyretics can be taken if there are fever symptoms. If symptoms are severe, seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur frequently, surgery may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
