Question
A 2-year-old boy initially complained of pain when swallowing, and it was found that swallowing was a bit difficult. He also had a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment should first involve symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. For localized treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the child’s throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be given. If the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery early. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment and focus on liquid foods.
