Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a bit of pain in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse as well, and it felt like his low-grade fever had not gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug 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 administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
