Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He then noticed severe coughing accompanied by low fever. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or local irrigation or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
