Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, at first, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that coughing was quite severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn’t gone away. How should one effectively treat a child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
Generally speaking, for children with pediatric tonsillitis, it is effective to administer some antibiotics according to symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, drug injections into the tonsils, and laser therapy. If the pain in the throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given. For children with persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be applied. In cases of recurrent acute severe conditions or existing complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. Finally, it is hoped that parents will pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing a good job of related prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
