Patient's question:
My male child is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. It was found that he also had mild coughing, and he had a slight fever and was not energetic. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or combining it with local treatment methods. Options such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication are effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. However, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are common treatment approaches. If the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, early surgical intervention is advised. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
