Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and her cough was quite severe. At the same time, she has had a low-grade fever. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis and fever be treated effectively?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 systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If a child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
