Question
My son is 8 years old and has recently been experiencing throat pain and severe coughing, along with a fever and a lack of energy. How should I treat his tonsillitis with fever for better effectiveness?
Answer
It is recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, which may require localized treatment such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection. Consider pain relief medication if the throat pain is severe. For fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
