Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
