Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Also, it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis and high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretic drugs can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
