Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe. He has also had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low-grade fever for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
