Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school, began to feel discomfort in his throat, with some pain and difficulty swallowing. He also has a persistent mild fever and is seeking treatment options for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever.
Answer
For treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, perform regional lavage or spraying, and can also inject medication into the tonsils for significant effect. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider giving pain-relieving medication. For fever, it is acceptable to take a fever-reducing medicine in moderation, but if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, it is recommended to supplement nutrition with a light diet and ensure adequate rest, avoiding fatigue.
