Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also found mild coughing, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, you may consider giving pain-relieving medication. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
