Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. 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.
