Question
How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis accompanied by low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be considered. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment methods can also be chosen to enhance the effect, such as regional irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered to help relieve the pain. If the child has a low fever, antipyretics can be used, and if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment can be considered, while also paying attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits, which will help the child recover sooner.
