Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has recently started experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by a pronounced cough and fever. What treatment methods are available for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever to achieve good results?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve sensitive antibiotic medications, with the choice of medication depending on the results of a bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment measures can be taken, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered. For children with persistent fever, parents can use antipyretic medications for management or promptly take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
