Question
A 3-year-old boy has recently started complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent low fever. Inquiry: How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended that children take anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the main symptom is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if there is a fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. After recovery, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
