Question

A 7-month-old boy recently feels a sore throat and has a slight cough. He currently has a persistent fever. How should one treat low fever tonsillitis in children?

Answer

To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to use medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance. Regional treatments may consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers may be suggested to alleviate symptoms; if the fever persists, timely use of fever-reducing medication is advised. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be an option. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the condition.
