Question
My 9-year-old son has been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever recently. How should I treat a young child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Prescribe anti-inflammatory medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, herbal injections, etc., to alleviate symptoms. Pain relievers can be taken for pain, and physical cooling can be used to reduce low-grade fever. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to the condition, seek medical attention early, and pay attention to preventive health care.
