Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, it seems his cough is also quite severe, and he also has a low fever. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during the treatment period.
