Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
