Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water, and it was noticed that his cough seemed more severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt rinsing, tonsillar medication injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication if appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
