Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, hoarseness, and fever. How should I handle the situation where my child has tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be used to control the symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage or direct drug injection into the tonsils can be adopted to enhance the efficacy. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers may be considered. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms do not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to providing children with reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to assist in the early recovery from the disease.
