Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please advise: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
