Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. It was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local irrigation or topical application can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
