Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like the low fever never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and subsequent recurrent inflammation of the tonsils.
