Question
My son is 3 years old. He initially had a sore throat with a slight cough, and now he has a high fever that won’t go down. How should I treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections can be considered. You can also consider giving some painkillers to relieve pain, especially when the throat is extremely painful. If there is a fever, you can take antipyretic medication. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible when the fever is high. If the medication treatment is not effective and the condition recurs, surgery can be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
