Question
The boy is already 6 years old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, along with a severe cough and low-grade fever. How can one effectively treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the common method for treating tonsillitis is to use antibiotic medications, which can be selected according to the situation. Additionally, regional irrigation or spraying can be performed, or symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. If the main symptom is throat pain, some painkillers can be given to the child. Moreover, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. If high fever occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication treatment, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can consult with the doctor to see if surgical treatment is needed. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure the child has enough rest time.
