Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he had a slight cough and has been slightly feverish. How should I treat his low fever due to tonsillitis for better effectiveness?
Answer
When treating, first consider giving the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs based on their symptoms. For regional treatments, laser therapy or drug irrigation are recommended. If necessary, such as when the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, it may be appropriate to take some fever-reducing medicine. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. For children who repeatedly suffer from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child and enhancing nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
