Question
The boy is 3 years old. Initially, he had a sore throat, noticed a hoarse voice when speaking, and has been running a fever. How should treatment for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be carried out?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child has fever symptoms, they can take some antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children well-warmed to prevent catching a cold and triggering a relapse of tonsillitis.
