Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. He first complained of a sore throat, with his voice sounding hoarse during speech, and he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment, including regional applications such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intravenous medications. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can be considered, especially when there is severe throat pain, which can help alleviate discomfort. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken; it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible in cases of high fever. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise, enhance immunity, and prevent recurrence.
