Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by a mild cough, and has had a slightly feverish condition all along. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and fever in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
