Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving drugs can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during treatment.
