Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water, and he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medications can be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injections into the tonsils. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
