Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and has been a bit feverish, please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and fever in children well.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 taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance efficacy. Pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that may trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
