Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he also has a slight fever and no energy. Question: How can high fever and tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intra-tonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not provide relief, medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
