Treatment Methods for Children with tonsillitis Accompanied by Low Fever

Question

An eight-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by persistent high fever. What should be the diagnostic approach for children with tonsillitis accompanied by low fever?

Answer

In treating tonsillitis, medication with anti-inflammatory properties can be chosen under physician guidance, or regional therapy can be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar drug injection. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used, and physical cooling measures can be taken when accompanied by low fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. The aforementioned methods are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis, and surgical treatment is also a viable option for children who have recurrent attacks. Parents should pay attention to keeping their children well-warmed and avoid catching a cold or flu to prevent the tonsils from becoming inflamed again.
