Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It turned out that his cough was also quite severe, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover more quickly.
