Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
