Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the inflammation of the tonsils and fever in the child be treated effectively.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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
