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 for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication 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 hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
