Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be diagnosed and treated in children.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
