Question
My child is an 8-year-old boy. He recently started having a slight pain in his throat, and I noticed his voice has become hoarse when speaking. Moreover, he now has a persistent high fever. How should we treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For a more effective treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be considered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is suggested to administer painkillers based on the situation. Furthermore, if there is a fever, antipyretics can be taken. In cases of persistent high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and consider surgical treatment if there is a history of recurrent inflammation. During this period, make sure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
