How to diagnose and treat high fever with tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
