Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She recently started complaining that drinking water hurts her throat, and she has a severe cough (severe cough) and is running a low fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Generally, for children with tonsillitis and low fever, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be effective. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be used. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the child’s temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For recurrent acute severe cases or those with complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid situations that may exacerbate symptoms.
