Question
How should I treat my 8-year-old son’s tonsillitis and fever effectively? He initially felt a sore throat, hoarseness, and was accompanied by fever and fatigue. I seek treatment advice.
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, it is advisable to first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, while also performing regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection of medication. For throat pain, analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, cooling methods can be selected based on body temperature. If inflammation recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoid colds that may trigger inflammation recurrence.
