Question
My son is 5 years old and has recently started experiencing a sore throat and slight cough, along with a persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat the fever in case of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injecting specific medications. If the throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms; for persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is necessary. If the child frequently gets sick, consider surgery after treatment to prevent recurrence, and suggest moderate exercise to boost immunity. Physical cooling and proper health care also help prevent the disease from recurring.
