How should children with tonsillitis and fever be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 4 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given to the child. If this does not alleviate the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
