Question
My son is 3 years old, and he has recently been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent fever. How should we treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is anti-inflammatory medication, which can be administered orally or through topical sprays. For throat pain, analgesics can be considered to alleviate discomfort. For persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be used. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. In general, a diet of light, fluid foods is recommended.
