Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever. I would like to ask what treatment methods should be used for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis with low fever, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and at the same time, regional treatments such as gargling or applying ointments can be done to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. If the symptoms are mainly a sore throat, some painkillers can be considered; if accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may also consider surgical treatment. During the treatment process, it is important to keep warm and avoid cold air from aggravating the symptoms.
