Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe, and she also had a bit of a fever and was not very energetic. How should low fever in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for low fever in pediatric tonsillitis involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. These are currently the main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy methods such as pus pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils can also be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. If the child has fever symptoms, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In case of severe conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgery may be considered to avoid recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
