Question
How should low fever in children with tonsillitis be treated, and what are the expected effects?
Answer
For the treatment of low fever in children with tonsillitis, it is first advisable to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. While taking medication, some localized treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to reinforce the treatment effect. If the child primarily experiences sore throat symptoms, parents may consider giving some painkillers to relieve throat pain. Additionally, if accompanied by a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Besides medication, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on fluid foods.
