Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just starting, feels sore throat when speaking, found, cough is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
