Question
A 6-year-old boy has been complaining of throat pain when swallowing, accompanied by a slight cough. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections can also be considered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is advisable to administer analgesics based on the situation. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be treated with antipyretics as appropriate. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly.
