Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed that his cough is quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with high fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to have the tonsillectomy performed two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
