Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, started to feel a sore throat when speaking. He found that it was accompanied by a mild cough and a low fever. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. 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, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
