Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough seems to be more severe as well, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all effective. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5°C. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
