Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
When treating a child’s tonsillitis and fever, it is generally recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medications as prescribed by a doctor, with regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication irrigation being options. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to a doctor early, and pay attention to prevention and health care in daily life.
