Question
A 6-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, low fever, and lack of energy. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, how should effective treatment be carried out for pediatric tonsillitis accompanied by low fever?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, medications with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. For fever, antipyretic drugs can be used moderately; however, if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
