Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the child's tonsillitis and low fever be treated for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
