Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat, discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had low-grade fever. Question: How is it best to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. Pain relievers may be administered when necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat. If the child also has low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. However, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences such symptoms, surgical treatment should be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure your child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
