Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. He first complained of pain when swallowing, severe coughing, and accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, internal injections, and laser therapy. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a persistent fever, timely use of antipyretic medication or medical consultation is recommended. Surgery is one of the methods applicable to children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, light diet, adequate rest, and avoiding fatigue.
