Question
A 6-year-old boy started to feel a sore throat when he began speaking, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and also had a low-grade fever and lack of energy. How should parents treat low fever in children with tonsillitis for better effectiveness?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory symptoms effectively. Additionally, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection therapy are good options. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. In cases of low-grade fever, physical cooling can be used, and if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For those with recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
