Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was noticed that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
