Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be administered as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
