Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and then we noticed he had severe coughing. He has also had a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the illness recover quickly.
