Question
My 9-year-old son has been experiencing a sore throat and a slight cough recently, along with a fever and lack of energy. How should I treat his tonsillitis and high fever effectively?
Answer
The main method for treating pediatric tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. Consider regional treatments such as cleaning, injection of medication, or laser therapy. For throat pain, painkillers can be administered, and antipyretics should be used promptly for persistent fever. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, physical cooling methods can be employed. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and surgery may be considered after treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to pay attention to nutritional supplementation, light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
