Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
