Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he said that swallowing something was painful. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in young children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injections, laser therapy, etc. If a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
