Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed mild coughing. He also had a slight fever and was a bit lacking in energy. Question: How to treat tonsillitis with fever in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation and direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child has fever symptoms, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
