Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned one month old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurring episodes, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
