Question
Dear Baby, currently 3 years old, at first, there was a slight sore throat, and it was found that the coughing was more severe. Additionally, it seems that the low fever has not subsided. Please ask: How should low fever in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment approach varies depending on the child’s symptoms. Symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment can be carried out according to the following methods: Firstly, use systemic antibiotic medications; at the same time, regional treatment methods can be chosen to enhance the effect, such as performing cryptorchid irrigation or directly injecting medication into the tonsils. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used moderately. In addition, if accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the fever is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. Besides medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also discuss surgical treatment options with the doctor. During the treatment period, it is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
