Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed that his cough was quite severe and he had been slightly feverish. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
