Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He started complaining of pain when swallowing, and it was discovered that he also had mild coughing and a slight fever, and he wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. All these methods are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing medications can be administered orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
