Question
Dear parents, my 8-year-old daughter is suffering from severe sore throat and cough, accompanied by a low fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and medication injections can be combined. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts. If there is a low fever, it can be reduced. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the condition recurs frequently, after the disease is controlled, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. At the same time, pay attention to giving light and nutritious food, increasing nutritional supplementation to assist in early recovery.
