Question
The boy is 8 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and he noticed that he was coughing quite severely, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should children with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
Currently, in the clinical treatment of children with tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture, which has good effects. Regional applications can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. Painkillers can be given to the child for sore throat. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the fever cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. The aforementioned methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. Finally, parents are advised to pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in daily life.
