Question
Dear Parent, my 3-year-old daughter has recently been experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and a persistent low fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Moderate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with regional irrigation or spray treatments, or injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils. Additionally, painkillers and antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms persist or the condition worsens, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child has had multiple acute illnesses or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for 2 weeks. During the treatment period, it is important to provide light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote a quick recovery.
