Question
An 11-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially felt a sore throat, his voice became hoarse, and he exhibited symptoms of low fever and lack of energy. How should a child with tonsillitis complicated by low fever be treated to achieve good results?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis complicated by low fever primarily involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents should choose the appropriate medication based on their child’s specific condition. Additionally, regional use of medication sprays or laser therapy is also a feasible option. If the child experiences severe throat pain, a moderate amount of painkillers can be administered. Some children may have fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be given. If symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold to exacerbate the condition.
