Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He has also been running a fever. How should I treat a fever in a young child with tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication, and also consider regional rinsing or spraying medication. Injections of symptomatic medication can also be administered to the tonsils, which are effective. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be given to the child. For fever symptoms, medications with antipyretic effects can be administered. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment, and focus on liquid foods.
