Question
My son is 3 years old. He started to feel a sore throat when he spoke, and I noticed he was coughing quite severely, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat a young child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can also be taken, and if the fever is high, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently common treatments for tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
