Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also found that his cough seemed to be more severe, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is also good. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretics as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
