Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 5 months old, just started, says drinking water makes his throat hurt, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, medication such as antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further aggravation of symptoms due to catching a cold.
