Patient's question:
Boy, who is 8 years old, initially said that he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Question: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. The effectiveness of these methods is quite good. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
