Question
My 7-year-old son, at first, complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a bit of a fever and was not very energetic. How should I treat fever caused by tonsillitis in children?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and also consider regional rinsing or spraying, or injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child primarily has symptoms of throat pain, it is recommended that parents consider giving some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is also a fever, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In case of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, consider surgical treatment. Lastly, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
