Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with fever in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
