Question
My son is 7 years old and has recently been complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough, and has been running a low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used. It is recommended to apply local radiation therapy or medication irrigation, and painkillers can be used if the throat pain is severe. If there is still a fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery early on, while also paying attention to a reasonable diet and sleep habits to aid in a quick recovery.
