Question
A 6-year-old boy initially complained of pain when swallowing and drinking water. He also has a severe cough and a slight fever with a lack of energy. How should a child with high fever tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. For more severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to administer painkillers as needed. For fever symptoms, children can take antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is suggested to have your child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent future outbreaks.
