Question
A 4-year-old boy initially felt a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing. Now, he has a high fever that does not subside. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered for treatment. Local treatment suggestions include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be used as appropriate. If accompanied by fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible when the fever is high. In addition to common treatment methods, surgery can also be considered for children with frequent attacks, and parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding colds to prevent the tonsils from becoming inflamed again.
