Question
A 3-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, difficulty drinking water, mild coughing, and currently has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose medications based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be considered to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation, direct drug injection, and the consideration of painkillers to relieve pain. Parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest to aid in a quick recovery.
