Question

How should I treat my 2-year-old son’s tonsillitis and low fever?

Answer

It is usually recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections can be considered. Depending on the child’s condition, some painkillers can be given to alleviate throat pain. If the child still has a slight fever, it is appropriate to cool the body down moderately. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
