Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during speech, and also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers based on the situation. If the child keeps running a fever, parents can also give some fever-reducing medication, or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
