Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water. I noticed that he also had a slight cough and a low-grade fever. What should we do to treat his tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also give some fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
