Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 3 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis and fever.Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relief medication as needed. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is kept warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
