Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He also had severe coughing and a slight fever, and he wasn't very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are currently commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
