Question
A 7-year-old boy has a sore throat that is painful even when drinking water, severe coughing, and a persistent fever. How should one treat and prevent infant and toddler tonsillitis with low-grade fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be used for treatment, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, oral medications, or intravenous injections. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be administered, and physical methods can be used to reduce fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. It is advisable for parents to pay attention to this condition, take their child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
