Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat, noticed it, and found swallowing a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a low fever. Question: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Persistent fever in children should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical attention early for their child, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
