Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
