Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. He has a sore throat when speaking, severe coughing, a bit of a fever, and lacks energy. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to give the child an antibiotic, use local anesthetic sprays or laser therapy as needed, provide painkillers for sore throat, and use fever-reducing medication or seek medical attention if the fever persists. Surgery is applicable for children with recurrent episodes. It’s also important to pay attention to a reasonable diet and sleep habits to promote recovery.
