Question

What should be done when a child has tonsillitis with low-grade fever?

Answer

In treating such diseases, it is recommended to give the child symptomatic antibiotics and conduct some local treatments, such as rinsing or direct medication, to consolidate the therapeutic effect. If the child mainly exhibits symptoms of throat pain, it is suggested to administer appropriate painkillers to relieve discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it can be appropriately treated with antipyretics. However, if the fever persists, please seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis often recurs, and if similar situations arise after treatment, surgery can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate the symptoms.
