Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been feeling a sore throat, with the throat being inflamed and his voice a bit hoarse. He also has a low-grade fever. How can a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated most effectively?
Answer
Parents are advised to choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In terms of regional treatment, it is recommended to use laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can also be considered. For persistent fever, timely application of antipyretics and moderate physical cooling should be applied. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to assist in an early recovery from the illness.
