Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had low-grade fever. Question: How to treat high fever caused by tonsillitis in children well.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Besides these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
