Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. He noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How can the high fever from tonsillitis be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. It is also necessary to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
