Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She also discovered mild coughing, and she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
