Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then I noticed she also had a mild cough. It seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away either. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, as well as local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
