Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well, and he had been running a low fever for a while. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever 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 is quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
