Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and fever?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. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be used as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
