Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he had severe coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's throat is particularly painful, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and subsequent recurrent inflammation of the tonsils.
