Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was discovered that he also had a mild cough, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, appropriate antipyretics should be administered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
