Question
My son is 6 years old. He recently started complaining of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. What should be done to treat his tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as pus pocket irrigation and direct tonsil injection with medication. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. For children with persistent fever, timely application of antipyretics is recommended. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child maintains a light diet and receives adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
