Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms or use local treatments, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some analgesics to relieve the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the condition does not improve, medical attention must be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
