Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and it seemed difficult to swallow. He also had a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection therapy, and laser treatment. Painkillers can also be administered for throat pain. If there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. It is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it’s also important to ensure the child has a light diet and increases nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
