Question
A four-month-old boy is experiencing sore throat with occasional coughing, and his fever persists. How should one treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, and combine this with local treatments such as tonsil washing and injection therapies. Consider administering painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when there is severe throat pain, which can help alleviate discomfort. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken; it is advisable to seek medical attention early during high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible, while ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
