Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgery for treatment under medical supervision. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
