Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. He also found that his cough seemed quite severe, and he had been experiencing a low-grade fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can also be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
