Question
A boy, already 1 year old, is experiencing throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and mild fever, and is not feeling well. How should low fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, sensitive antibiotics can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be performed, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsil area. Painkillers may be administered as needed to relieve pain. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrent tonsillitis.
