Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low fever. How should we treat the low fever caused by her tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, regional irrigation or spraying, injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils, using painkillers for children with severe throat pain, and administering oral fever-reducing medications for those with fever. If these measures are not effective, medical consultation is essential. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoids catching a cold.
