Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. He recently started to feel a sore throat while speaking, and I noticed he has been coughing quite severely. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should I treat and diagnose my child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated with antipyretics. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to preventive measures and health care in daily life.
