Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she had a sore throat, then her voice became hoarse, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, along with regional cleaning or spraying, or injecting the tonsils with appropriate medication, which can be very effective. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and physical cooling methods can be adopted to accompany the low fever. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical treatment should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis often recurs, and if there are similar situations, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
