Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and his throat. He has been coughing quite severely, and it seems like he has had a low fever all this time. What should be the treatment for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can first use symptomatic antibiotic medications, and can also be combined with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. Children with fever can take antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. After the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered if similar conditions exist. It is also recommended to engage in moderate exercise and boost immunity after the condition improves to prevent recurrence.
