Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had a slight cough as well. He’s also been a bit feverish. How should I treat a child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, you can choose symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, you can administer local drug sprays or undergo laser therapy. If necessary, such as when the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should administer antipyretic medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment and consume mainly liquid foods.
