Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. These methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
