Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis,medication such as antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
