Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, and he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had low fever. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be used in conjunction. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be applied. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
