Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to give to their child, which can alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections can be considered. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be given. Some children may have fever along with the illness, and oral antipyretics can be taken; if the fever does not subside, medical attention is needed. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications have occurred, it is advisable to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for 2 weeks. Parents should pay attention to the disease and take their child for medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
