Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he has now developed a persistent fever. How should fever in children with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child. If the child’s condition is more severe, some regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. Painkillers can also be given based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery as a treatment option. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
