Question
How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with high fever for optimal effectiveness? He is a 9-year-old boy. He initially had a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing, and now he has a high fever. What should I do?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended for parents to give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Regional laser therapy or medication washing can be considered. If the child’s main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be administered to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may experience fever as well, and oral antipyretics can be given. If the fever does not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered, and during the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on fluids.
