Question

My son is 6 years old. He started saying that his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. He’s also been a bit feverish. How should I treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?

Answer

It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to give their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. Some children may also have a fever, and in this case, you can give the child some oral antipyretics. If the fever does not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-protected from colds to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
