Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat with a slight cough, and he has a persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
Current treatment methods for tonsillitis often include selective use of antibiotics, which can be complemented with regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection medications. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. Surgery may be applicable for children with recurrent episodes, and it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise after treatment to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
