Patient's question:
My male child, who is 2 years old, initially said he had pain when swallowing. It was discovered that his cough is quite severe, and at the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
