Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How to treat high fever and tonsillitis 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. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. In daily life, maintain a light diet, and during treatment, focus on a liquid diet.
