Question
The boy is 4 years old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water, and it seemed like swallowing was a bit difficult. It seems like he’s had a low fever all along. How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated effectively?
Answer
For treatment, it is first recommended to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as pus pocket irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsil, etc. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
