Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat, noticed it, and had severe coughing. At the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. Lastly, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
