Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing 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:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
