Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started experiencing a sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seems to be getting worse as well. Additionally, he has a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential 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. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
