Question
A 5-year-old boy, at first complaining of a sore throat, followed by severe coughing and mild fever. How should low fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated for better effectiveness?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medication can be used initially, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil washing and injection therapy. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a slight fever, it should be appropriately cooled down; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For patients with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
