Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his cough seemed more severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat high fever from tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain-relieving medications may also be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgery is recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child has a light diet and adequate nutritional support to aid in quick recovery.
