Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 6 years old and has a sore throat when drinking water, difficulty swallowing, and a low fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics are the commonly used method for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen based on the situation. Regional rinsing or spraying medications can be performed, as well as injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils, which is effective. If throat pain is the main symptom, painkillers can be considered. If the fever persists, use fever-reducing medication or seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment, and pay attention to light diet and nutritional supplementation to aid recovery.
