Patient's question:
My male baby is 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and oral antipyretics can be given. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
