Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. 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.
