Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. However, for high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
