Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
