Question
A 5-year-old boy has recently been experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating low fever in children with tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, and regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or tonsil injections may be considered. If severe throat pain is present, analgesics can be taken. For fever, antipyretics can be administered, and it is advisable to seek medical attention early if the fever is high. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be an option. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of inflammation.
