Patient's question:
My boy is 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a bit of a fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should high fever and tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of children's tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt lavage, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to administer analgesics based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
