Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and then we noticed his voice was a bit hoarse. He has also had a slight fever for a while. Could you please advise on how to treat high fever caused by tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer pain relievers as needed to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. All of the above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
