Question

How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis accompanied by fever?

Answer

Currently, antibiotic medications are one of the commonly used methods for treating tonsillitis, and they can be chosen based on the specific situation. Additionally, some regional treatment methods can be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are also good options. If the child experiences throat pain, some painkillers can be given to relieve the symptoms. For more severe fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be used for treatment. If the condition is more severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest time, avoiding overexertion.
