Treatment Methods for Children with Low Fever Due to tonsillitis

Question

My 1-year-old son has a sore throat and coughs, with a persistent low fever. How should I treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?

Answer

For children suffering from tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications, tonsil lavage, or regional drug injections can be considered as treatments. Additionally, painkillers can be applied based on the child’s condition, especially to alleviate severe throat pain. If the child has a low fever, physical cooling methods can be employed, and medical assistance should be sought when the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. Moreover, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
