Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that he also had mild coughing, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat high fever caused by tonsillitis in young children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given to the child. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during the treatment period.
