Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. He has just started to have a slight pain in his throat, accompanied by a mild cough. Additionally, he now has a persistent high fever. How should I treat the fever in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is first recommended to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation is suggested. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can also be administered to the child. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the fever cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
