Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, and found mild cough. Additionally, he now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
