Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
