Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that, coughing was quite severe, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
