Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said it hurts when swallowing, and it was found that his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he has a low fever. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments may also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection medication. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer analgesics based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent exacerbation of symptoms due to catching a cold.
