Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever 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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
