Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
