Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please advise: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
