Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. At first, she had a sore throat, and then I noticed her cough seemed quite severe as well. She also had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
