Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been suffering from a sore throat, hoarse voice, and low fever recently. How should one treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating tonsillitis in children with low fever, parents can administer anti-inflammatory medication and consider regional radiation therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has throat pain, a small amount of pain reliever can be given; if there is fever, a fever-reducing medicine can be used. If the high fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Paying attention to prevention and health care, and seeking timely medical treatment is important.
