Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. He initially complained of a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a slight fever and lack of energy. How should I treat his tonsillitis effectively when he has a low fever?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child anti-inflammatory medication, and also consider regional irrigation or spraying, as well as intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medication, which has been shown to be effective. If throat pain is the main symptom, painkillers can be considered. For fever, oral antipyretics can be taken; if there is no relief, please seek medical attention. Consider surgery to prevent recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
