Question
My child is a 8-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his coughing seems more severe. Moreover, it seems like he has a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and regional treatments can also be carried out, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be given. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining diet hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
