Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can be chosen based on the culture of the pathogenic bacteria, and additional regional treatments can be considered, such as tonsil washing, regional drug injection, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken for fever symptoms. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible, especially if there are multiple acute attacks or complications have already occurred. It is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
