Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has mild coughing, and it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Question: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers as needed to ease the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
