Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and he had a slight fever and no energy. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, they can also combine some local treatments, including tonsillar crypt lavage and tonsillar injections. When necessary, such as when the child has particularly severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously and take their child to a doctor for early diagnosis and treatment. It is also necessary to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
