Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had a slight cough and a bit of fever and was not energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. In addition, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
