Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, and he has been experiencing severe coughing, accompanied by a low fever. How should we treat the child’s tonsillitis and low fever for the best results?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be based on the selection of sensitive antibiotic medications according to bacterial culture. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, it is suggested to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity, in order to prevent recurrence.
