Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis and fever in my child?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 treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to provide pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
