Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should I treat a young child’s tonsillitis with high fever effectively?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal drug injection can be performed. Painkillers can also be given to relieve throat pain. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. If the situation is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. For patients with recurrent acute severe conditions or those with complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
