Question
A 7-year-old boy has recently been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated for the best results?
Answer
Currently, commonly used treatment methods in clinical practice include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and parents can choose the appropriate medication based on the symptoms. Regional treatment is recommended to use laser therapy or mouthwash for cleaning. If the throat pain is severe, consider taking painkillers. For fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature; physical cooling can be used if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If pediatric tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early, while also paying attention to maintaining good dietary hygiene and sufficient rest during the treatment period.
