Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt. It was found 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:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be performed. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers may be given based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
