Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water, and it was accompanied by mild coughing. He has also had a slight fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. 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. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
