Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed that he also had a mild cough and a low fever. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and high fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are quite effective. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
