Question
My son is 6 years old. He started saying he had a sore throat, and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and fever for the best effect?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can also be given. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications, or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods. It is also necessary to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
