Treatment Methods for Low-Fever in Children with tonsillitis

Question

My daughter is 4 years old and has started to experience a sore throat and cough. Now she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?

Answer

For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used to alleviate symptoms, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, regional drug injections, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For fever, cooling methods can be adopted based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be applied, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
