Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that her cough was also quite severe, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
