Patient's question:
Boys, who are 6 years old, at first felt a sore throat when speaking. They noticed this, accompanied by mild coughing, and have had a slightly feverish condition all along. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some antibiotics that match the symptoms. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has been feverish for a long time, parents can also give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet should be primarily followed.
