Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: How can I effectively treat high fever caused by tonsillitis in children?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
