Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
