Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting, feels sore throat even when drinking water, notices it, coughing is quite severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away.:How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture results. While systemic treatment can be administered, local treatment options can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. These methods include crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils, among others. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication, or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical intervention at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent symptom exacerbation.
