Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when she drinks water, and she has severe coughing. Additionally, she has a slight fever and is lacking energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications should be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is recommended early on. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
