Question
My son is 5 years old and has a slight sore throat, accompanied by a mild cough and low fever with lack of energy. How should one treat low-fever pediatric tonsillitis for the best results?
Answer
When treating such diseases, consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications, along with tonsil washing or regional injections. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be used as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery may be considered, during which time it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold.
