Question
My child is a 8-year-old boy. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that his cough seemed more severe, and he also had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. How should I treat my child’s high fever due to tonsillitis for the best results?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be used for treatment. For severe symptoms, regional treatment measures such as tonsil irrigation or injections can be combined. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Some children may have a fever as well, and oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms do not improve, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
