Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat while speaking, and it seemed a bit difficult to swallow. He also has a slight fever and lacks energy. What should I do to treat his tonsillitis with high fever effectively?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it’s a case of pediatric tonsillitis, it’s effective to give the child some symptomatic antibiotics. Along with systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including procedures such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. For children with fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. Lastly, parents should pay close attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in everyday life.
