Patient's question:
A girl is 3 years old this year, and gradually she doesn't feel well. She doesn't know what's wrong either, and seems to lack energy.Question: What should be done if a child has a fever and tonsillitis?
Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsillitis can be caused by either bacterial or viral infections. The main symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, redness, swelling, and inflammation of the tonsils. Treatment primarily involves the use of systemic antibiotics and local medications. After one week of treatment with no significant improvement, a bacterial culture and sensitivity test can be performed on the tonsils. Based on the type of bacteria, the most effective antibiotic can be selected for treatment. Combining this with the use of nebulization or local lozenges can yield better results.
