Question
My child is an 8-year-old boy. Initially, he said it hurt to drink water and his throat felt sore. I noticed that he has been coughing quite severely, and it seems like his low fever hasn’t gone away. How should I treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are one of the common methods for treating tonsillitis, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intravenous drug injection can also be considered. If the throat pain is severe, analgesics can be administered. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to giving light meals and increasing nutrition, which will help recover quickly.
