Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should infant and toddler tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
