Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it turned out his cough was also quite severe. At the same time, it seems his low fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
