Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by mild coughing, and a slight fever with low energy. Please advise: How should we treat tonsillitis and fever in children?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injections can be used in conjunction. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child also has a low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
