Question
A boy, 1 year old, initially complained of throat pain when swallowing and had a slight cough. Now he has a persistent high fever. How should low fever in pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be performed, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is generally good. Painkillers can be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help relieve suffering. Children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleeping habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
