Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. 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 clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used in combination. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
