Patient's question:

Boy, who is already 5 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
