Question

My son is 7 years old, and he’s been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever recently. How should I treat the fever associated with infant and toddler tonsillitis?

Answer

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose medication based on the symptoms. Regional treatment can consider laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the fever persists, it is recommended to take fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is recommended to eat a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
