Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is advisable to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has fever symptoms, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
