Patient's question:
My male child is 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. I would like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose based on symptoms, and local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or with existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides.，。
