Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
