Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, analgesics can be given appropriately. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
