Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and had severe coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
