Question
My son is 3 years old and initially, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and he’s been running a slight fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Selective sensitive medications can be chosen based on bacterial culture, with good effects. For regional treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling (cooling) methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention is required. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm and to avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
