Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he said he had a sore throat, and I found that he was also coughing quite severely. Additionally, he has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat my child’s low fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents select appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications for the treatment of their child’s tonsillitis and low fever under the guidance of a doctor. Consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injectable medications. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed. If accompanied by fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. For children with recurrent episodes or severe acute inflammation with complications, it is suggested to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is important to arrange for a reasonable diet and rest schedule to help the child recover quickly.
