Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he has a slight fever and is lacking energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. While taking the medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medicine can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
