Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at first, said his throat hurts. Noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and has a high fever, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
