Patient's question:
My boy, who is 4 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated if it is difficult to recover?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection medication, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
