Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, accompanied by low fever. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections are all good options. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. 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 ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and they should also get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
