Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. If a child has persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
