Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: If a child has tonsillitis and a fever, what treatment methods are most effective?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. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If medication efficacy is poor and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
