Question
My child is a 8-year-old boy. He has been feeling a sore throat recently, accompanied by worsening cough, and he has been slightly feverish. How should I treat low fever in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, select anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional drug injections. For throat pain, provide the child with pain relievers, and if there is a low fever, perform physical cooling. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
