Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
