Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
