Question
An 8-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially experienced sore throat, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by low fever and lack of energy. How should children’s tonsillitis accompanied by low fever be treated to achieve good results?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis accompanied by low fever, symptomatic antibiotic medication can be considered. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil intralesional injections can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered as needed. When fever persists, parents should give antipyretic medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and encourage the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
