Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has a particularly sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
