Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed quite severe. Additionally, it appeared that he had a low-grade fever that hadn't subsided. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
