Question
My son has a low-grade fever of 38.3°C, and his hands and feet are cold. What treatment methods are available?
Answer
When a child experiences low-grade fever with cold hands and feet, it may be caused by tonsillitis. Treatment primarily involves the use of antibiotics, ensuring that the medication is taken in sufficient doses and for the full course. Additionally, you can complement this with some traditional Chinese medicine that has cooling and detoxifying effects to alleviate symptoms. It’s advisable to avoid spicy, cold, and other irritating foods in daily life. If the above methods are ineffective, it’s recommended to consider hospitalization for a tonsillectomy.
