Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he has been coughing quite severely. Now, his fever has not gone down. How should we treat his tonsillitis with low fever for better effectiveness?
Answer
Firstly, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication to treat the tonsillitis. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. For children with pronounced throat pain, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, it is advisable to cool the fever appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In cases of recurrent acute severe conditions or those with complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, they should also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
