Treatment Methods for Children with Low Fever due to tonsillitis

Question

A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been feeling a sore throat, with severe coughing and persistent fever. How should one handle the situation of a child with low fever due to tonsillitis?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, it can be initially treated with antibiotics, while also undergoing regional treatments such as lavage and inhalation to enhance the effectiveness. For throat pain, analgesics can be administered. If there is a fever, the coolingmethod should be chosen based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are the commonly used treatment methods for tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also an option. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
