Patient's question:
My child has had recurrent tonsillitis for the past two years, and each episode is accompanied by high fever. This situation is truly concerning about the potential harm to my child's health. Could you please advise on the medications used for tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
1. The main symptoms of acute tonsillitis in children are fever and sore throat. The treatment primarily involves anti-inflammatory therapy, which usually lasts for about a week. It is recommended that the medication duration should not be too short.2. If there are systemic symptoms such as fever, it is advisable to use appropriate symptomatic antipyretic and blood-activating drugs alongside the anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, during the treatment for tonsillitis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a positive mood and follow a proper diet to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery of tonsillitis.
