Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had been running a low fever. Question: How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated?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 such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections can be used in conjunction. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to rest more and avoid fatigue.
