Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he had a slight pain in his throat, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely, and it seemed like the low fever never went away. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever for the best effect?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice. Parents can choose according to symptoms, and regional treatments can also be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take some antipyretics. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
