Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. It was discovered that he also had a mild cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should the treatment be effective for tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
