Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight pain in his throat, accompanied by a mild cough and low-grade fever. What should be done to effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretic measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to ensure that the child maintains a light diet and enhances nutritional supplementation to aid in an early recovery.
