Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. He has recently started feeling a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever. How can I effectively treat my child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
When treating a child’s tonsillitis, parents can administer anti-inflammatory medication and consider regional treatments such as tonsil internal irrigation or injections. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered, along with physical cooling (cooling) as needed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis often recurs easily, and if the condition persists, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it’s important to provide the child with a light diet and increase nutritional supplements to help them recover sooner.
