Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, at first, he said it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that his cough is quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with fever in children.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 efficacy. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
