Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it turned out that his cough was also quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
