Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered it was accompanied by a mild cough. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish all along. Question: How can the treatment be effective for tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent future episodes.
