Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. At first, his throat feels a bit sore, and he has noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or the presence of complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
