Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently developed a sore throat and low fever. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, you can administer symptomatic medications (symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication) or regional treatments, such as tonsil washing or regional injections. If the sore throat is severe, consider using painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. For low fever, you can give a moderate dose of fever-reducing medicine. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For patients with high fever, consider surgery after controlling the condition, and pay attention to staying warm to avoid colds that may trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
