Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, just started, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, coughing was quite severe, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
