Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said that swallowing was painful, and he noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also ensure their children are properly warmed to prevent colds and subsequent recurrent tonsillitis.
