Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough also seemed quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children.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. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
