Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also had mild coughing and a slight fever, and wasn't very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and fever in children?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
