Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with high 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, or opt for local irrigation or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
