Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and then we noticed mild coughing. He also had a slight fever and seemed tired. Please ask: What is the most effective treatment for tonsillitis and high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, all of which are quite effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be employed. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent further recurrence.
