Patient's question:
My male baby is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain-relieving medications can be given. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
