Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he also had a mild cough. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
