Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy, and he recently has been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low fever when speaking. How should I treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and oral or topical medications, or laser therapy can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be administered to alleviate the symptoms. When accompanied by low fever, physical cooling(cooling) can be performed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Surgery is one of the viable options, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Additionally, it is important to arrange the child’s diet and rest schedule properly, which is conducive to a quick recovery.
