Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Also, it seems like he has a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and fever for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
