Question
My daughter is 3 years old and has recently started experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. How should I treat her for pediatric tonsillitis and the fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment; in severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication; if the throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be used; at the same time, control the low-grade fever, and seek medical attention promptly if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
