Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and a bit of fever with low energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
