Question
My son is 8 years old, and recently he has been complaining of a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by coughing and a slight fever. I would like to ask: What are the effective treatment methods for low-fever pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, in clinical practice, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are among the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms. At the same time, some regional treatments can be carried out, such as throat irrigation and direct application of medications, to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. If throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered in moderation. If the child has a slight fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these common methods, surgery is also a viable treatment option, especially suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and work and rest habits for the child to assist in a quick recovery from the illness.
