Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Issues: How to Treat tonsillitis and Low Fever?

A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed a severe cough, and had a bit of fever and lack of energy. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated? Treatment should first involve symptomatic medications (symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication) based on the child’s symptoms, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to administer painkillers as needed. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage the child in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
