Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
