Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and he had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat children's tonsillitis with fever.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
