Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. It was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
