Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed severe coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method according to the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the drug efficacy is poor and it recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
