Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat his tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds, which could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
