Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Then, he also had a severe cough. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lethargic. Could you please advise on how to treat high fever caused by tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. 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, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is under control, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
