Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. He also had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
