Question
My son is 7 years old. He recently started feeling pain when swallowing, and I noticed he has a slight cough along with a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with fever for the best results?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture, which is effective. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can also be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesic medication can be administered as appropriate. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the fever cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
