Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How can the high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
