Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be given. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
