Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during conversation. Additionally, he has a persistent high fever. What should I do if my child has painful tonsillitis?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. If the child’s condition is severe, you can also consider regional treatments, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. In cases of sore throat, you can also give the child some painkillers. If the child still has a fever, you can consider giving some antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
