Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed he has a mild cough. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent colds and further tonsillitis.
