Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then he started coughing more severely. He also had a slight fever and seemed tired. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
