Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and then we noticed he had severe coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
