Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just starting out. When talking, he feels a sore throat, notices it, and his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis and low fever of the child be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
