Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and then he started coughing violently. Additionally, he had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent the symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
