Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and now he’s experiencing severe coughing. Additionally, he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
For treatment, first, you can give your child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on their symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, and laser therapy. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, they can take antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
