Question
A boy, already 1 year old, has recently started feeling a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and fever for the best effect?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can usually be prescribed based on symptoms, which are more effective. In terms of regional treatment, it is recommended to consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. Additionally, painkillers can be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital for immediate medical attention. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring enough rest time.
