Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis-induced fever?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, initial treatment can include anti-inflammatory medications and regional treatments such as tonsil washing, regional drug injections, and laser therapy. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used; if accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, while also paying attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
