Question
A 5-year-old boy, at first complaining of a sore throat, noticed more severe coughing, a bit of fever, and lack of energy. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever for the best effect?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection drugs can be considered. If the primary symptom is throat pain, parents can give painkillers as needed to relieve symptoms. Some children may also have fever, and oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention is required. Additionally, if pediatric tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery early on. Meanwhile, pay attention to light diet and nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
