Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated for optimal effectiveness? The little girl is currently 5 years old, has a sore throat with some pain and severe coughing, and the fever does not subside.
Answer
Treatment can involve providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, along with local treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to reinforce the efficacy. If the child experiences throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and physical cooling measures should be taken if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered, and it is important to arrange for a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to assist in the recovery from the disease.
