Patient's question:
My male child, who is 3 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing things. It was discovered that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please advise: How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer antipyretic drugs or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
