Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He started saying his throat hurts, accompanied by slight coughing and low fever. How should tonsillitis with low fever be diagnosed and treated in children?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injections may be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used appropriately; for fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. Parents are advised to take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
