Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, severe coughing, and has been running a low fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, you can choose medications with anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance, or use regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, consider giving a moderate amount of pain reliever to alleviate the symptoms. For fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. For temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition occurs frequently, after the condition is controlled, consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
