Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should I treat his tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication to treat pediatric tonsillitis. While taking the medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be administered orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
