Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing, and he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated.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 according to symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
