Question
Dear Sir, the baby boy is 5 months old and initially felt a sore throat with difficulty swallowing and accompanied by a low fever. How should we treat the low fever in a child with tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
The first step in treatment is to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, while also conducting some regional therapies, such as regional rinsing, to enhance the efficacy. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can also be considered. Some children may have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms do not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives sufficient nutrition, eat a light diet, and rest adequately to avoid fatigue.
