Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed mild coughing at the same time. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How should the child be treated for tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
