Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
