Question
My son is 3 years old. He feels a sore throat when talking, accompanied by a slight cough, fever, and lack of energy. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis may include anti-inflammatory medications for the child, such as medication sprays or laser therapy. Painkillers can relieve throat pain, and fever-reducing drugs are needed for fever. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. It is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes an appropriate amount of fruits and vegetables. If the condition recurs frequently, surgery may be considered.
