Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis and fever in a child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing and direct application can also be used to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
