Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. He has also had a low-grade fever for a while. How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can select some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar drug injections. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
