Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, started to feel a sore throat when speaking. He found that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?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 medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers as needed. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
