Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing or drinking water, and it seems his cough is quite severe. Now, he has a persistent fever. What should be the treatment for a child with sore throat and low-grade fever?
Answer
Firstly, for the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is suggested to administer painkillers according to the situation. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
