Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I treat tonsillitis and fever effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
