Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that he also had a mild cough, and additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to eat. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
