Question
A 5-month-old male baby has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to follow the doctor’s prescription and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection of medications can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered to relieve symptoms. For fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, and it is advised to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the medication is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After recovery, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
