Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, has recently started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough, and now has a persistent high fever. How should low fever in children with tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intramuscular injections. If the child’s sore throat is severe, some painkillers may be used to relieve symptoms. If there is a persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. When the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. In addition to the common treatment methods, surgery is also an option, especially suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to supplementing the child’s nutrition, eating light foods, and ensuring adequate rest to avoid overexertion.
