Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially reported a sore throat and noticed difficulty swallowing. He has also had a slight fever for some time. How should low fever in infants with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat low fever in infants with tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be given. For persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical coolingmethods can be adopted. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
