Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 8 years old, initially said that she felt pain when swallowing. It was discovered that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I diagnose and treat tonsillitis with a high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or has already developed complications, it is recommended to have the tonsillectomy performed two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
