Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed he has a severe cough, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also choose local treatment methods to enhance efficacy, such as crypt irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
