Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child’s sore throat 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 antipyretics. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are more common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child and to enhance nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
