Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 3 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat the low-grade fever associated with pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be administered along with regional treatments such as gargles or topical applications to enhance effectiveness. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used appropriately; if there is fever, physical cooling methods can be employed when the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, and antipyretics can be taken orally if the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent episodes occur, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. It is advised that parents pay attention to the disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, while also paying attention to relevant preventive measures and health work in daily life.
