Question
How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is the administration of anti-inflammatory medication. Regional applications such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection therapy can also be considered. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be employed, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the condition is repeatedly acute and severe or there are complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
