Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slightly feverish condition for a while. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
