Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on your symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
