Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to the symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection drugs, etc., which are all good options. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child still has a fever, it should be considered for fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
