Question
A six-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and low fever with a poor state of mind. How should one treat tonsillitis in children accompanied by low fever?
Answer
The treatment for children’s tonsillitis accompanied by low fever may include symptomatic antibiotic medications, along with regional irrigation or spray treatments, and the injection of appropriate medication into the tonsils, all of which have proven efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered; if there is persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. If the temperature does not reach 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If the child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and get enough rest to avoid overexertion.
