Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He also had a low-grade fever. What should be the appropriate treatment for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to symptoms. While taking medication, some regional treatments such as rinsing can also be performed to consolidate the efficacy. If the child feels throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, consider fever-reducing measures. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in daily life.
