Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, which has proven to be quite effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is essential to get plenty of rest and avoid fatigue.
