Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used in conjunction. If the child primarily has a sore throat symptom, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
