Question
My son is 9 years old and has been complaining of a sore throat when swallowing. He also has a slight cough, and now he has a persistent fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis fever effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered according to symptoms, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy. It is recommended to give some painkillers and physical cooling methods based on the situation. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advised to undergo surgery as soon as possible, and pay attention to a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to aid in recovery.
