Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to give fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or has already developed complications, it is recommended to undergo a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
