Question
A 6-year-old boy, initially complaining of a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during speech, and it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. How should one treat fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating such diseases, one can administer some symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct tonsil injection of medication. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. Apart from these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
