Question
A seven-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should children’s tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
In treating children’s tonsillitis, antibiotics are commonly used in clinical practice, and the choice of medication can be based on the results of bacterial culture to select sensitive drugs, which are effective. In terms of regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve discomfort. For fever management, appropriate cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature; physical cooling can be adopted if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be considered if the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible.
