Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing was a bit difficult. She also had a slight fever and seemed listless. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, with the choice of sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture. The effect is good. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers are suggested to relieve symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it is appropriate to take some fever-reducing medicine. However, if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
