Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He has recently started feeling a sore throat, which is uncomfortable when swallowing or drinking water. He has been continuously coughing and slightly feverish, and his spirit is also lower. I would like to ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis and fever, consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, drug injections, or laser therapy. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the fever is high, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are currently the more common treatment methods for tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to help the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
