Question
An 11-year-old boy felt a sore throat while at school, his voice became hoarse, and he had a low fever with lack of energy. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance for their child, and perform regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intravenous medication injections. Painkillers can be used when pain is evident, and antipyretics can be taken when fever is present. It is advised to seek medical attention early for high fever, and surgery is recommended for recurrent episodes. Pay attention to nutritional supplementation and rest during treatment.
