Question
A boy, aged 3, has just started to feel a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent low fever. How should low fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen as appropriate. While taking medication, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be done to consolidate the efficacy. For children with obvious symptoms of throat pain, analgesic medications can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
