Question
A 9-year-old boy has recently been suffering from a sore throat and a hoarse voice. Now he has a persistent fever that won’t go down. How can one effectively treat tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal injections, can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be given. Fever-reducing medicine should be applied promptly when there is a persistent fever, and physical cooling can be used if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help them recover sooner.
