Question
A 7-year-old girl has just started feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough. Additionally, she is currently experiencing a persistent high fever. What medical treatments should be adopted for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, and can be combined with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. Painkillers can also be considered when the child’s throat pain is severe. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. When the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity, in order to prevent recurrence.
