Question
Dear Baby, currently 6 years old, has a slight sore throat, and it seems that the cough is more severe. At the same time, there is a low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
For acute tonsillitis with low fever, treatment can be chosen under the guidance of a doctor, including systemic medication and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal medication injection. For throat pain, analgesics can be given to relieve pain and reduce fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent episodes, surgery may also be considered. In addition to medication, parents should pay attention to keeping warm to prevent repeated attacks of tonsillitis due to colds.
