Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that he also has a mild cough. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis be treated to feel better and recover effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage your child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
