Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. Recently, he has been experiencing a sore throat while speaking, with his voice sounding hoarse. At the same time, he has a persistent fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered initially, and consider laser therapy or medication rinses for local treatment. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, a small amount of fever-reducing medicine can be used, but if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery may also be considered. It is also necessary to adjust a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits, which will help in recovery.
