Question
A boy is 1 year old, experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and a lack of energy. How should one treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, antibiotics can be used to treat tonsillitis in children, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intralesional injections, and laser therapy. For children with obvious sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If fever occurs, appropriate cooling methods should be chosen based on the body temperature. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, and if it does so again, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
