Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed he has a severe cough. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
