Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils to address symptoms, and the efficacy is generally good. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
