Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and then we noticed he also had a mild cough and a slight fever, and he wasn't feeling well. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
