Question
My son is 4 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and high fever with a lack of energy. How should I treat his tonsillitis with high fever for the best results?
Answer
For tonsillitis in children, you can first administer some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and also consider regional treatment methods to enhance the effect, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the throat pain is severe, you can give a moderate amount of painkillers. If the child still has a fever, you may consider using fever-reducing medicine. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to common treatment methods, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a light diet and supplementing nutrition, which will help in recovery.
