Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started saying that he has pain when swallowing, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like he has a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: If a child has tonsillitis and fever, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended 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. If the drug treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
