Question
My son is 8 years old and a boy. Initially, he said his throat hurt, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s low fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also complement with regional therapy methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can also take some fever-reducing medications. It is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. If there are repeated acute severe cases or complications have already occurred, it is suggested to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to do a good job of prevention and health care work in everyday life.
