Question

My 2-year-old son is complaining of a sore throat, severe cough, and has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and low fever?

Answer

For children with tonsillitis and low fever, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s advice and use anti-inflammatory medication. Consider laser therapy or medication irrigation to alleviate throat pain, and provide painkillers if necessary. If there is still a fever, use antipyretics in appropriate amounts. If the fever persists, be sure to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence. If there are similar symptoms after the inflammation is controlled, consider surgical treatment. Additionally, pay attention to your child’s reasonable diet and rest schedule, which will help in recovery.
