Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. He initially felt a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing, and now has a persistent fever. What should I do if my child has a sore throat and fever?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can opt for symptomatic treatment, while also undergoing regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or internal drug injections, and can moderately administer painkillers. If the fever continues, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and consider surgical treatment. If the tonsils frequently inflame, it is recommended to have surgery in a timely manner. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrent tonsillitis.
