Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts even when she drinks water. I noticed she also has a mild cough. Additionally, it seems like she hasn't recovered from a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, and the results are also quite effective. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
