Question
My 7-year-old son has recently started to feel a sore throat, with his voice becoming hoarse and a slight fever, along with a lack of energy. What should be the appropriate treatment for low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The recommended approach to treatment is to follow the doctor’s guidance, administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child and considering regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal medication injections. For throat pain, painkillers can be provided, and oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if the fever persists. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. At the same time, it’s important to ensure a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to aid in a quick recovery.
