What should I do if my child has a sore throat with high fever, excessive phlegm, and a stuffy nose?

Patient's question:

Pingxiang People's Hospital
Pingxiang Maternal and Child Health Hospital
Pediatrics - Fever Department

Doctor's answer:

The key is chronic tonsillitis, which leads to recurrent episodes. For children with chronic tonsillitis and adenoid hypertrophy, if there are no significant complications, conservative treatment should be pursued as much as possible before the age of 6, primarily with herbal decoctions. If the effect is indeed not ideal, surgical removal can be considered after the age of 6.
