Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and low fever. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, how should pediatric tonsillitis accompanied by low fever be treated?
Answer
For treating pediatric tonsillitis accompanied by low fever, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment methods can be adopted, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. For low fever, it is recommended to take physical cooling measures. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
