Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat children's tonsillitis when they feel uncomfortable.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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be administered to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is recommended. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
