Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with regional rinsing or spraying, or injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. Additionally, if the child has symptoms of sore throat and fever, it is recommended to choose painkillers to relieve symptoms and to reduce fever based on body temperature. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication treatment, if the child repeatedly experiences inflammation, discuss surgical treatment options with the doctor, while also paying attention to a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to help the child recover as soon as possible.
