Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during speech. It seems like he’s been running a low fever all the time. How should I treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered according to symptoms, as well as regional rinsing or spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for treatment, which is generally effective. In necessary cases, such as when a child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
