Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed that he had some difficulty swallowing, and he has been a bit feverish. How should children with low fever and tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered, especially if the child has severe throat pain. It is advisable to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms if the child still has a fever. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently among the more common treatments for tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes, during which it is important to ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
