Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs 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 direct application of medication, to reinforce 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 a persistent fever, parents should also provide fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
