Question

How should a child with a sore throat and low fever be treated?

Answer

The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can be considered from the following aspects:

  1. Give the child some anti-inflammatory medications.
  2. If the condition is severe, regional treatment measures can be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications.
  3. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child.
  4. If the child has a fever, give them a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly.
  5. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is controlled, consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and provide enough rest time for the child.
