Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then I noticed his cough seems to be quite severe as well. He also has a slight fever and doesn't seem very energetic. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat tonsillitis with fever in children?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. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
