Question
My son is 5 years old. He feels a sore throat when speaking, has severe coughing, and keeps running a fever. How should low-fever pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered for systemic and local treatment, such as tonsil irrigation or injection of drugs. Painkillers and fever-reducing medications should be given as needed, and medical attention should be sought early for high fever. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. During the treatment process, it is important to arrange for light meals, increase nutritional supplements, and promote a quick recovery.
