Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing and had a severe cough. He has been slightly feverish. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with low fever for the best effect?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and regional treatments can be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation, tonsil injection drugs, and other methods. Point pain relievers can also be given to alleviate throat pain. If the child has a slight fever, temperature reduction can be considered. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery can be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
