Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he had a sore throat, and he found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local rinsing or local spraying can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, and the effectiveness is quite good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats plenty of vegetables and fruits.
