Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he felt sore when trying to drink water, noticed that his cough was quite severe, and also had low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy can be performed. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
