Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the 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 your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
