Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and then he noticed that his cough was quite severe. He has also had a low-grade fever for a while. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment for tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
