Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low-grade fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics are currently commonly used medications for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. At the same time, local treatments such as rinsing and direct medication can be used to enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications are recommended. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
