Question
A boy, already 1 year old, has just started to feel a slight pain in his throat, and he has noticed that his voice sounds hoarse when speaking, and he has had a slight fever all along. How should fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation can be considered. If the child primarily experiences a sore throat, parents may consider giving painkillers for relief. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. For recurrent inflammation episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to aid in a quick recovery.
