Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seemed like the low fever had not subsided. How should children with low fever and tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Moreover, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently has recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be suggested. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits for the child to aid in the early recovery from the disease.
