Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. At the same time, he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be diagnosed and treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be administered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
