Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated for the best effect in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation, direct injection of drugs into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on a liquid diet.
