Patient's question:
My little one has tonsillitis and a low fever. What should I do? They've been hospitalized at the hospital for a day and have been IV drip for the entire day. The low fever has subsided, but it still occasionally comes back. It's getting better and worse. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis often experience repeated episodes of fever reduction, requiring close and careful monitoring of their temperature. When the temperature drops below 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication or rectal fever-reducing suppositories should be administered. Additionally, medications to clear heat, detoxify, reduce swelling, and anti-inflammatory treatments for tonsillitis should be given. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water and avoid spicy, irritating, overly sweet, or salty foods.
