Question
My daughter is 3 years old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, the common approach is to use antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose medications appropriately based on the symptoms and may also consider regional treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation or injection medications. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take their child to see a doctor. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may also be considered. In addition, parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
