Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like his low-grade fever had not subsided. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?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. Local treatment can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
