Question
My son is 5 years old. He recently started saying that he has pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a persistent high fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child and perform regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intralesional injections of medication, and laser therapy. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be provided as needed. If there is a fever, cooling methods should be chosen based on the body temperature. If the condition recurs, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
