Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also had mild coughing and a slight fever with no energy. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. In necessary cases, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. However, for high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
