Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. I would like to ask: How should acute tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injections, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
