Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he complained of pain when drinking water, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with fever for the best effect?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used. The choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should also give some antipyretic medication, or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
