Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
