Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that he also had a mild cough, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Question: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. 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. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
