Question
My child, an 8-year-old boy, has been suffering from a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy recently. What is the best way to treat low-fever tonsillitis in children?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis may include using sensitive antibiotics, regional drug sprays or laser therapy, and the use of painkillers as needed to relieve throat pain. For persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics can be considered, and physical coolingcan be considered if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If inflammation recurs, parents may consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to providing light meals and strengthening nutritional supplementation to aid in a quicker recovery.
