Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
