Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis and low fever in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid exposure to cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
