Question
A 4-year-old boy, at the beginning, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that he was coughing quite severely, and also had a slight fever with lack of energy. How should low-fever tonsillitis in infants and toddlers be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. Painkillers can be given when the child’s throat pain is severe. If there is a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Surgery is one of the methods applicable to children with recurrent attacks. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work.
