Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started experiencing a sore throat, and I noticed he has severe coughing. Additionally, he has a slight fever and seems lethargic. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
