Question
A seven-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and is accompanied by persistent low fever. How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
The treatment for children with tonsillitis and low fever typically involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the doctor’s advice. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injections are also effective. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing drugs is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
