Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially experienced a slight pain in his throat, noticed his voice was a bit hoarse during speech, and had a bit of a fever with a lack of energy. How should one treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose symptomatic medications with anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Painkillers can also be given based on the child’s condition, particularly when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate pain. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help facilitate an early recovery.
