Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
