Question
A 7-year-old boy, initially experiencing a slight sore throat, has also noticed a mild cough. It seems that he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should one treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is suggested to administer some painkillers based on the situation. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should give some fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the symptoms recur, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
