Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing water, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Moreover, it seems like his low fever has not subsided. What should be the treatment for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the main methods and drugs used in clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to the symptoms. Regional treatment suggestions include laser therapy or medication irrigation, and painkillers can also be used when the child’s throat pain is severe. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and in serious cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. Pay attention to the disease, take your child to see a doctor early, and strengthen relevant preventive and health care work in daily life.
