Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing throat pain and severe coughing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How can one effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture or regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and drug injections. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases or with complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the inflammation subsides. Parents should pay close attention to this condition, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also focus on preventive and health care measures.
