Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and then we noticed mild coughing. Also, it seems like he hasn't had a fever for a while. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
