Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been feeling a sore throat recently, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Treatment suggestions generally include following the doctor’s orders to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, while also considering regional treatments such as gargling or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. For children with fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be used. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition recurs frequently, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a light diet and supplementing nutrition, which will help the child recover sooner.
