Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had mild coughing, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat tonsillitis with high fever 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, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given to children depending on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
