Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially had a slight sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
