Question
My son is 5 years old. He recently started complaining that drinking water hurts his throat, and it seems like swallowing is a bit difficult. Moreover, he seems to have a persistent low fever. How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment suggestions include giving the child anti-inflammatory medications, performing regional tonsil treatments such as rinsing or drug injections, using painkillers for sore throat symptoms, and taking antipyretic medication if there is a fever. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is one method of treating recurrent tonsillitis. Parents should pay attention to the disease, take their children to the doctor for timely treatment, and be aware of preventive and health care measures.
