Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts even when he drinks water. I noticed that his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and he has a slightly fever and lacks energy. I would like to ask: How should I treat severe tonsillitis and high fever in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, or local medications can be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be given on a case-by-case basis. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary.In addition to these treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under a doctor's guidance. It is also important for parents to ensure proper warmth for the child to prevent colds or re-inflammation of the tonsils.
