Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. If the drug efficacy is poor and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
