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 now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment for pediatric tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
