Question
My son is 7 years old. He just started saying that his throat hurts and it seems a bit difficult to swallow. Additionally, he has a persistent high fever. How should a young child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help the child recover as soon as possible.
