Question
My son is 5 years old. He first complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his coughing has become more severe. Moreover, he has had a low fever that hasn’t subsided. How can we effectively treat his tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it can be treated through symptomatic therapy and regional treatment. This includes the use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as antibiotics, and may consider regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications. If the child mainly shows throat pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered to prevent symptoms from recurring. During treatment, keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold.
