Question
My child is an 8-year-old boy. He started saying that his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice sounds a bit hoarse during speech, and he’s been a bit feverish. How should the treatment be for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
If your child has tonsillitis, you can first use symptomatic antibiotic medications for treatment. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsil drug injection. If your child’s main symptom is throat pain, it is recommended that parents give a moderate amount of pain relievers to relieve pain. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in daily life.
