Question
A boy, 3 years old, initially felt a sore throat with difficulty swallowing, and had a persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to administer antibiotics to the child as prescribed by the doctor, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If the child has a sore throat, a moderate amount of painkillers can be used. If the child still has a fever, fever reducers can be considered, but if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. At the same time, pay attention to arranging reasonable diet and lifestyle habits for the child to promote recovery.
