Question
A 12-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, worsening cough, and persistent low fever symptoms, diagnosed with pediatric tonsillitis. How should this type of low fever condition be effectively treated?
Answer
The treatment of low fever accompanying pediatric tonsillitis involves administering appropriate antibiotic medications to combat the infection. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections can be adopted. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be administered as needed, but if the fever persists, immediate medical assistance should be sought. If the child frequently experiences such situations, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
