Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just starting. Says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well. She has also had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
