Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with 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 effects. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have proven effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgical intervention. Finally, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
