Question
A nine-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of tonsillitis, initially feeling throat pain, with a hoarse voice when speaking, and now has a persistent high fever. How should one treat the low fever symptoms accompanying pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, first consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications, and can be supplemented with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medications. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be administered. For low fever, physical cooling measures can be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Additionally, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
