Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. He also had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as appropriate. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation, direct injection of drugs into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the drug efficacy is poor and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
