How to Treat a Child with tonsillitis Accompanied by Low Fever

Question

My 6-year-old son has tonsillitis with low fever and sore throat. How should I handle this situation?

Answer

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, and regional therapy or laser treatment can be considered. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used. Some children may have accompanying fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrent attacks, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene, as well as adequate rest.
