Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, just started to have a slight sore throat, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and also has a low-grade fever. Please ask: What should be the effective treatment for a child’s tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
Antibiotics are a common and effective method for treating tonsillitis, and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional drug injections can also be considered. For throat pain, some painkillers can be given to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication or taking the child to the hospital. If the condition is severe or has complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
