Question
A 3-year-old boy, initially complaining of a sore throat, has been experiencing severe coughing and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. How can one effectively treat tonsillitis with low fever in children?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for children with low fever due to tonsillitis, one should choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and opt for both systemic and localized treatments to enhance efficacy. This may include methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. Based on the situation, painkillers can be given to alleviate throat pain, and antipyretics can be taken if there are fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe inflammation episodes or complications have occurred, consider a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation has subsided. Also, during the treatment process, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
