Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and then we noticed he had severe coughing, accompanied by low fever. Could you please advise on the appropriate treatment for infant tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinses are recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is advised. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
