Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a long time. Please ask: How should the treatment be effective for tonsillitis and fever in the child?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct topical application, to enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers may be administered when necessary, especially when a child experiences severe sore throat. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. However, for high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or has developed complications, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to aid in early recovery.
