Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, and I noticed he had slight coughing as well. He also has a bit of a fever and seems lackluster. How should I treat his tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. For localized treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmaceutical rinsing. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
